THE CHAPTER-GENERAL has the honour to submit to the Members and Associates its Report for the year 1937. ANNUAL SERVICE AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The Annual Festival of the Order was held on the 24th June, in the Grand Priory Church, Clerkenwell. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel of St. John. the Almoner, in the ancient crypt, by the Rev. Prebendary L. J. PerCIval, K.C.V.O., a Chaplain of the Order, at 8.30 a.m. The annual Commemoration Service was held at 2.30 p.m., members of Chapter-General, headed by the Choir of His Majesty's Chapels Royal and the lergy, walking in procession from the Chancery of t. John's Gate to the Church. The service was conduded by the Rev. Preb ndary L. J. Percival, and the sermon was preached by The Right Rev. The Bishop of Durham, a ub-Prelate of the Order. The Annual General Assembly of Members and Associates of the Order was held after the service in the Chapter Hall at St. John's Gate, Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-Weston, the Chancellor, presiding. Major-General ir Percival \Vilkinson, ecretary-General and Director of the Ambulance Department, Colonel J. T. \V. Perowne, Hospitaller, Colonel E. J. King, the Librarian, Major-General Sir John Duncan, Chief Commissioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade, and Colonel J. L. Sleeman, Chief Commi ioner, t. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, gave accounts of the work of their respective departments during the year. The Chancellor said that before referring to the Reports of the Executive Officers he had to report that he had received a letter from His Royal Highness The Grand Prior asking him to express to all members of the Order his very great disappointment at being unable to attend the Annual Commemoration Service or to preside at the General Assembly owing to the fact that his medical adviser had ordered him to take a complete rest. His Royal Highness congratulated the Order on its general progress during the past year and on the high appreciation of the British public of the splendid voluntary services so efficiently performed by the St. John Ambulance Brigade during the Coronation. His Royal Highness also deeply regretted the absence, through ill health, of the ub-Prior and hoped he would soon be restored to good health. The Chancellor also reported that he had received a letter from the Earl of Scarbrough, the Sub-Prior, expressing his deep regret at being unable to be present for reasons of health. He hoped, however, to be present at the next meeting of Chapter-General. The Chancellor said he was sure that after hearing the Reports of the Executive Officers on the activities of the Order during the past year the Assembly would agree that it had been a very exceptional and

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

valuable year. The great interest taken in the Order by the Royal Family was shown by the fact that His Majesty The Sovereign Head had invest cd over one hundred members of the Order (including the Duchess of Kent and the Duche s of Gloucester) with their Insignia at Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty The Queen being present at the Investiture; that Her l\Iajesty had graciously consented to retain her position as Lady Commandant-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps and Divisions of the t. John Ambulance Brigade, but that owing to the immense amount of work which she had to undertake she had appointed as her Deputy in that office the Duchess of Gloucester; that Her Majesty had reviewed the St. John Ambulance Brigade in Hyde Park, at its Golden Jubilee Review; and that Her Majesty Queen Mary, as reported by the Ho pitaller, had worked with her own hands cot covers for use in the Hospital at Jerusalem. He concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Bi hop of Durham for preaching the Sermon at the Annual Commemoration crvicc and to the Rev. Prebendary L. J. Percival for arranging the ervice, which was carried unanimously. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Bailiff Grand Cross, in propo ing a votc of thanks to the Chancellor for prcsiding at the General A embly, aid the Assembly was glad to welcome him back after hi rccent protracted tour through India and Burma on behalf of the Indian overnmeni, and referred to his long service not only to hi King and Country but al 0 to the Order. VISIT OF HER MAJESTY QUEE

MARY.

Her Majesty Queen Mary accompanied by the Earl of Athlone honourcd the Order by an informal visit to St. John's Gate on 5th l\Iarch. Her Majesty went first to the Church and was shown over thc crypt, which has been practically unaltered since it was consecrated in 1185. The Museum was next visited, after which Her Majesty climbed the old spiral staircase to the Council Chamber, Chancery, and hapter Hall, where some of the treasures from the Library had been placed for ea ier inspection. Her Majesty by her comments and que tion bowed a keen appreciation of the work of the Ambulance Department of the Order.

LIFE-SAVING A\VARD. Awards for gallantry in saving or attempting to save life have been made by the Chapter-General to the following person, who endang red his own life on behalf of his fellows :AWARDED THE LIFE-SAVING MEDAL IN SIL\ EE.

Sub-Inspector Derrick James Christofielsz, Ceylon Police. On the 29th May, 1937, the Kelani River flooded the northern suburbs of olombo and the water was rising fast when, at about 2.30 in the afternoon, the Pollce were informed that 15 men, women, and children were marooned in a " boutique" on the Sedawatte Road. Two Constables, with some volunteers, went to the spot in a Police canoe. They found the victims of the flood hanging on to the rafters of the boutique. They managed to take five adults and two children in the canoe but owing to the strong current the canoe became waterlogged and could not be moyed. At about 4 p.m. the two children were rescued by a native, who sent information to the I'olice Station as to the plight of the rest. Sub-Inspector Christoffelsz took a Police boat manned by a Sergeant and two Police Constables. They found it impossible to reach the marooned party, who were hanging to the branches of a tree. Sub-Inspector Christoffelsz put on the life-saving apparatus, swam across the current to the marooned party, and tried to induce them to go across with him to the boat one by one by means of the life line, but they were afraid to do so. The life line was then tied to the tree and the boat pulled across by means of ropes. Half the party were thus rescued. By the tim~ the boat returned darkn.ess had fallen. The remainder of the party were then put mto the boat and were bemg rowed away, while Sub-Inspector Christoffelsz remained behind to untie the rope and be pulled back to the boat. When the boat was half-way across the rope gave way and coiled round the Sub-Inspector's hips. He held on to it, and the hoat after considerable difficulty was pulled into safety. As the life line was fouled in the trees it was impossible to pull the Sub-Inspector back to the boat. He therefore dived into the stream and was carried down with the fast-flowing current. He clung to a pillar but lost his hold, and was c~rried ?own for a~out 25 yards when he clung to another pillar. He then pulled hImself mto a boutIque, where he was marooned with two others on a platform about 2 ft. by 5 ft. A canoe was sent to rescue them but got into difficulties and it did not reach the Sub-Inspector until about 10 p.m., when he and the other two marooned men were removed to safety. The Inspector-General of Ceylon Police stated that it was due to the Sub-Inspector's leadership and personal efforts that thirteen person.s were. res.cue.d by t~e Su bInspector and his party, and that he undoubtedly rIsked hIS hfe ll1 effectll1g the rescue.

CINEMA FUND COMMITTEE. There has been no change in the rules regarding the administration of this Fund, and within the limits of the amount at the disposal of the Committee assistance has been granted during the year ended 30th September, 1937, in the manner indicated in the account at the end of this Report. THE

T. JOHN CLINIC AND INSTITUTE OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE.

The year has been one of unobtrusive good work, with no outstanding events and no important additions to the equipment of the Clinic. As in 1936, a course of twenty-four Post-Graduate lectures on Rheumatic diseases was carried out and was well attended. The recently established Rheumatic Research Council has allocated a research fellowship to the St. John Clinic of £750 per annum for seven years to pay the salary of a research worker. Dr. H. J. Taylor, who has been for some years on the staff of the Clinic, has been appointed to this fellowship by the Rheumatic Research Council. 76,000 odd patients have been given treatment, of which 17,000 were treated free. Treatments per week have averaged about 2,000. The excess of expenditure over income for 1937 was £503. OBITUARY.

LIBRARY AND MU EUM. Colonel E.

King, the Librarian, reports as follows :-

No publications relating to the Order during the past year have been brought to the notice of the Library Committee. The number of visitors to the Library and Museum during the year was 2,767, as contrasted with 2,156 visitors during the previous year. The most important of the purchases for the Library and Museum were some interesting pieces of sixteenth century armour of Italian workmanship, consisting of a set of breast and back plates, a circular targe, and a cup-hilted rapier, all bearing the eight-pointed cross of the Order. As in past years the Library Committee has to report the receipt of many generous gifts from members of the Order and their friends. Among these the more important are : (1) A very beautiful model of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in olive-wood, ivory, and mother-of-pearl, seventeenth century. It is much larger and finer than that already in the possession of the Order, the exterior is almost covered with engraved mother-of-pearl, and the interior is enriched with ivory columns· and inlaid floors. The gift of Mr. A. S. Jones. (2) The original bronze matrix of a seal of Sir John Weston, Grand Prior of England, 1476- 1489. It is 11 inches in diameter, with a flat fin handle pierced with a hole for suspension, and is engraved with a shield, held by an angel, bearing the Grand Prior's arms, "ermine, on

a chief five besants," encircled by the following inscription ~n blac~ letters: SIGILLU IOHIS WESTON PRIORIS HOSPITALIS SCI IOHIS I ~N~L. This matrix was found at Hatfield in Hertfordshire, during the rebuildmg of a house by the Benskin's ,Vatford Brewery Company, who presented it to the Order. . (3) A bronze portrait medal of Sir John Kendal, Gr~nd Pr~or of England, 1489- 1501, str,-:ck in 1480 to commemorate h~s servIc~ as Turcopolier in the first SIege of Rhodes; from the collectIon of Pr.m~e Frederick of axe- oburg-Gotha, and the Count de J onghe. ThIS IS the earliest known portrait medal of an Englishm~n, and o~ the gre~t~st rarity. Only two other specimens are known to eXIst, both III the Bntlsh Museum. The gift of Lieut.-Colonel W. L. Beales, Commander of the rder. P . f (4) A bronze portrait medal of Sir. R~chard S.helly, Grand nor 0 England, 1561- 1500. ix diffe~ent vanetIe~ of thIS .medal are ~nown t.o exist, of which three are now m the Order s collectlon. The gIft of Ir Richard Sennett, Commander of the Order. . (5) A bronze portrait medal of. the Grand Master Martm Gar~es, 1595- 1601. This m dal was struck m 1600 to commemorate the erectIOn of the arzes Tower in the Island of Gozo. Only two other specimens arc known, one in the Bibliotheque N ationale, Paris, and the oth~r. in the rand Master's Collection at Rome. The latter has the addItIOn of the word FU DATOR on the obverse. The gift of Sir Charles Smith, I night of the Ord r. . (6) A bronze portrait medal of the Grand Master Alof de Wignacou~t, 1601- 1622. truck in 1610. A very rare and valuable medal.

Beale , ~enskin's Brewery ompany, olonel R. J. Blackham, the Dean of Bockmg, Dr. C. Cott~m, Dr. R. ruickshank, Lieut.- olonel VI. W. Dove, Dr. E. A. EbblewhIte, lr. G. E.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM.

9th December.-Commemoration of the Capture of J eru alem, with Holy Communion in the morning, and on the following unc1ay a ervice principally attended by the Officers of No. 1 District of the Brigade, The Archdeacon of London being the preacher. The sincere thanks of the Order are again offered to the members of the Voluntary Choir, which under the guidance of Mr. F. \V. lifford, Officer of the Order, and the two Honorary Organists, Ir. tanley Roper, l\I.V.O., and Commander The Hon. Henry Cecil, O.B.E., R . . , Officers of the Order, has again rendered valuable service. In August the factory buildings adjoining the north wall of the hurch were pulled dmvn for a rebuilding scheme and disclosed the fact that the church wall was dangerously bulged and needed rebuilding. Further investigation discovered that the principal trusses of the roof timbers of the church had come apart and were pushing the \valls out to a dangerous extent. The Order's architect, Mr. F. Etchells, and the local Di trict Surveyor reported that protective work must be undertaken without delay, and the wall was at once effectively hored up. The safe condition of the roof is now being restored by the introduction of steel tie rods. \Vhen that is completed, the rebuilding of the north wall will be undertaken by the building in of a reinforced concrete sill upon the ancient wall of the crypt, and underpinning and rebuilding the wall. It is impossible to obtain an estimate for the co t of this work, because the wall can only be removed in small portions at one time and its interior condition ascertained. The Chapter-General has, therefore, on the advice of the architect, voted a sum of £1,000 for the work, and it is ~oped that thi~ am~unt will be considerably reduced, as the neighbounng owner conSIders It a party wall and has agreed to be re ponsible for half the cost of rebuilding.

FOUNDATIONS OF THE ORDER.

THE ST. JOHN AMBULANCE GAZETTE. The cir.culation during the yea:- has continued to increase slowly, but steadily. The year under reVIew was the best, from the financial point of view, in the history of the Gazette. Unemployment amongst the rank and file of the Brigade, which is the Gazette's best market has a great retarding effect upon sales. ' Sales for the year 1937 show a slight decrease over those of 1936 which was ~ "'peak}} year as regards circulations generally. ThIS IS probably due to two reasons: First that towards the end of 1936 a special" Order}} Circularization scheme was undertaken' second that as regards Overseas sales, a decrease was expected owin a t~ Canad~ having started an official journal of her own which, whilst reprinting features from The St. John Ambulance Gazette, necessitated a natural decrease in our circulation in that country. In South. ~f~ica an unofficial "Nursing}} Journal which reports St. John actIVItIes has also been started and whilst this journal has also sought (and been granted) permission to reprint features from our own Gazette a natural decrease in our own sales follows. It is, however, interesting to note that whilst no special circulation scheme was undertaken in 1937 the sales for January, 1938, compare favourably with those of 1937 and 1936.

ST. JOHN OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL AT JERUSALEM. The following is extracted from the Annual Report of ths Committee : THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-sixth Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. Your Committee has heard with the deepest satisfaction that H.M. The King and H.M. The Queen have both graciously consented to sign the photograph of their Majesties which is to be placed in the Hospital, where it will join the photographs or prints of Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Qu en Alexandra, George V and Queen Mary, and H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, Grand Prior. These pictures are always of great interest to vi itors as well as to the thousands of patients who pass through the Hall where they are hung. Consequent on the resignation by Major N. G. Richards of the office of Hon. Secretary to the Committee owing to pressure of other work, H.R.H. the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint Mr. Humphrey Ernest Bowman, C.M.G., C.B.E., to succeed him. Mr. Bowman was Director of Education in the Government of Palestine from 1920 till hi retirement in HJ37. He was also a Member of the Advisory Council of the High Commissioner from 1920. He is well acquainted with the Hospital and his experience of Palestine will be invaluable to the Hospital Committee whose members have extended to him a hearty welcome. There has been no change either in the Surgical or Nursing Staff during the year under review, but Miss Simpson, the Secretary, after two and a half years service, has retired from her post and returned home. In spite of the unsettled condition of the country the number of new out-patients, 21,367, constitutes a record, as do the out-patient attendances, which amount to the remarkable total of 108,616. The number of in-patients, 907, is on the contrary below the return of the years preceding 1936, and this holds good also of the number of operations performed. The Annexe has been full as usual and during the conjunctivitis season there was an average of 100 persons daily occupying the arcades of the Khan. It is with the greatest regret that your Committee has to report the first ~eat? of a patient (a boy 10 years of age) in the Hospital since its openmg m 1883. The post-mortem showed that there was a general enlargement of the glands with a very much enlarged thymus. Death under an ancesthetic was practically inevitable and this condition cannot be diagnosed during life. No blame is, therefore, attachable to the Hospital Staff. In order to promote interest where there is no Commandery in the work of the Order in Palestine, Chapter-General has sanctioned the appointment of Deputy Hospitallers in the Australian States. The following appointments have so far been made.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL, JERUSALEM.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

South Australia.-Dr. S. L. Dawkins, O.B.E., K.ST.]. Queensland.-Captain E. R. B. Pike, C.ST.]. Western A ustralia.-Dr. H. G. Tymms, K.ST.]. The Assistant Hon. Secretary for Scotland, Sir Colin MacRae, has formed a Committee to assist him in his work of making the history and objects of the Order, especially its work in Palestine, better known in Scotland. The following are the names of the Committee: Sir Colin MacRae (Chairman), Lady Margaret MacRae, O.B.E., Colonel C. de W. Crookshank, D.L., Charles Stewart, and MacGillivray of MacGillivray, D.SC., LL.D., Memorials to Dr. and Mrs. Cant and to Lady vVatson have taken the form of inscriptions on the walls of the Hospital. By a fortunate chance Mr. Eric Gill, A.R.A., who happened to be visiting Palestine, was persuaded to give his services and he composed the wording and drew the lettering and himself cut most of the inscription for Lady Watson's memorial, beneath which is a stone seat designed by Mr. A. St. Barbe Harrison, F.R.I.B.A., Architect in the Department of Public \Vorks of the Government of Palestine. For the Cant memorial, cut on the wall in the Inner Court, Mr. Eric Gill drew the lettering and superintended the work of the stone-mason who did the cutting. The Hospital is thus the richer for the work of a distinguished epigraphist which will be shown with pride to future visitors as long as the building lasts. The thanks of the Committee are also due to Mr. Harrison for his share of the Watson memorial. He knew Lady Watson well, and his work was done as a free-will offering. A Tablet to commemorate the visit to the Hospital of H.R.H. the Princess Royal will be placed in a suitable position in the Hospital when completed. It has been designed on the lines of the memorial tablets in the Palace in Malta by Mr. C. Micallef of the Public Works Department, and is being executed under the superintendence of the Chevalier Scicluna, M.B.E., C.ST.]., Librarian of the Malta Library. Its cost is being generously defrayed by Lady Strickland, D.B.E. Chapter-General also authorized the placing of the arms of FieldMarshal the Viscount Allenby and of Field-Marshal the Viscount Plumer on the wall of the Annexe. The two shields are side by side in the place of honour on the east wall facing the old Hospital Building which both of them knew so well. The usual St. John's Day Service was held in the subterranean Hospitaller Church in the precincts of the old Muristan and was well attended by members of the Order and their friends. Thanks are due to the Acting Orthodox Patriarch for his kind permission to hold this service annually. It has now finally been decided to build the new Block for Paying Patients and for the Physico-Therapeutic Department on the south side of the Hospital. This is recurring to the original plan. It certainly is a more convenient site than either the one next the Annexe, which had to be abandoned owing to the prohibitive price asked by the Orthodox Church Finance Commission, or the site in the Far Field or Olive yard, which was 125 yards from the Hospital. This latter had to be abandoned owing to the municipal authorities threatening to carry a new road right across

Cant.

the property, which would have cut off the proposed new Block from the Hospital. Meanwhile negotiations are proceeding for an exchange of land between the Order and the Wakf proprietors of the neighbouring plot, which, if effected, will give the Warden's Lodge protection from being overlooked by buildings less than 50 yards away and the other party a road frontage which it does not now possess. Both sides should benefit if the deal can be brought to fruition. The appeal for funds for the new Block, which was sanctioned by H.R.H. the Grand Prior, has now been closed. The amount received when the final list was posted at the end of the year totalled £10,178 ls. lld. Since then further donations have been received which are acknowledged on p. 23 under the heading" Jubilee Appeal Fund" and bring the total up to £10,528 4s. lid. Your Committee has now to consider the Architect's proposals, which are awaited with interest. The need for the new Block is proved once again by the considerable number of Army and R.A.F. personnel treated in 1937, in addition to many officials of the Trans-Jordan Frontier Force and the Palestine Government including British Police, and European monks and nuns. ' The Annexe is to be fenced with a boundary wall and the caretaker's flat improved by the addition of an open-air room facing the east with a view towards the Mountains of Moab. A sli~ht earthquake shock t~wards the end of the year opened up the cracks m the roofs, and all, WIth the exception of the large dispensary roo~ which had already :-eceived special. asphalt treatment, leaked badly dunng t~e Novemb~r. rams. The questIOn of treating all the roofs with asp~a1t IS now receIvmg the attention of your Committee. .SI: Horace Rumbold, Vice-Chairman of the Palestine Royal CommlSSIOn, and LadX ~umbold, D..S!.]., both visited the Hospital. Lady Rum~old wrote, SIr Horace VISIted the Ophthalmic Hospital and was o.s t Impressed by the ~ork done ~here. I, too, paid a most interesting VISIt .to the lovely HospItal and SIr John Strathearn was most kind in showmg me ~verything. I should think it is the finest piece of British propaganda m the East. The Hospital seems to be well equipped and so efficient that I think the Order has every reason to be proud of it." Sir I:Ia~old Morris, ,~.c., C.ST.]., another member of the Palestine Royal C~:)I?~mSSIOn, wro~e, I am very pleased to have had an opportunity of VISItIng. the HOSPItal and ~ took away with me a firm in1pression that it wa~ b~mg run ~ost effiCiently and doing splendid work in Palestine. ThIS VIew of mme was amply corroborated by all whom I met while I ~as out t~ere and to whom I spoke of the Hospital and its work. I was delighted WIth all I saw at the Hospital, particularly the patients in the wards. I had no doubt th~t they were happy and contented and very grateful for all that was bemg done for them. Sir John Strathearn was greeted with smiles and words of thanks wherever he went." The Hon.. John Bruce, ~he Principal Secretary for the Priory for Wales, receIved the followmg testimony from Mr. Abraham Hauser who ~rote, " ¥y wife and I spent a most useful two hours at the St. Joh~ HospItal.. It IS really doing marvellous work. You should feel proud of the HospItal and e.xcelle~t. Staff, together with the amazing cleanliness." Lord .Lytton paId a VISIt to the Hospital in November and discussed severallmportant matters with the Warden. On his return he submitted

REpORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.

a valuable and very helpful Report to the Committee, for which his colleagues have expressed their sincere thanks. The electric lighting, heating, and power supply of the Hospital, Annexe, and Warden's Lodge has now been transferred to the J erusalem Electric Corporation. The old private engine and batteries were worn out. The net cost of the transfer was £102 12s. , and a flat rate has now been agreed on for the supply of light, heat, and power which is considered a reasonable one. The whole of the new electric installation will be surveyed monthly by an expert electrician at a charge of £2 per month . The path to the Warden's Lodge from the road is now properly lit upa long delayed but necessary improvement as the approach to the Lodge is difficult and dangerous for guests reaching his house after dark. Your Committee once again expresses its grateful thanks to the Overseas Commanderies for their financial support and interest. From New Zealand the Hospitaller, Mr. C. J. Tunks, M.B.E., K.ST.J., has forwarded £59 14s. lld., an increase of £22 6s. 7d. compared with last year. The Archbishop of New Zealand, a Sub-Prelate of the Order, preached at the Parade Service on St. John's Day, in Auckland, and the Bishop of Wellington did the same at the Parade Service in vVellington. The Commandery in Southern Africa, T. H. Watermeyer, K.ST.J., Hospitaller, has increased its donations by £16 lOs. 6d. to £51 13s. 6d. From the Canadian Commandery has come the sum of £90 6s. 7d. which is hereby acknowledged, but it arrived too late to go into the accounts for the financial year ending on 30th September. Lady Stratheam, our Hon. Treasurer in J erusalem, has done wonderfully, and is deserving of heartiest congratulations in her initial year of office by remitting £222 13s. 4d., or £11 11s. 4d. more than her predecessor collected last year. The thanks of your Committee are cordially extended to the following for gifts received during the last twelve months: Anonymous, a parce l of books for the Hospital Library; through Mrs. Tweedale, C.B.E., A.R.R.C., D.ST.J., the sum of £19 collected at the Drumhead Service of the No. IV (Lancashire) District at Fleetwood; through VV. H. Harris, S.B.ST.J., District Secretary, the sum of £3 18s. 10d., part of a collection taken at the Annual Church Service of the Preston Corps; one and a half dozen knitted eye-bandages from the Hon. Alice Douglas-Pennant; two dozen coloured handkerchiefs for the children in the Hospital and one hundred knitted eye-bandages from the York City Nursing Cadets, through Miss Edith Coates; £3 11s., amount of collection at Harvest Festival in the Chapel of Dinmore-formerly a Preceptory of the Orderthrough Mr. R. H. Murray, O.ST.J. The Ladies' Linen Guild has been busy helping your Committee in finding many necessary things for the patients and for the Nursing Staff, particularly has it added to the attractiveness of the wards by providing six more white metal bed-side lockers. The Income and Expenditure Account · shows that the Hospital cost the Order £4,652 compared with £4,738 in 1936. Finally, your Committee once again has pleasure in conveying to the Warden and the Staff, surgical, nursing, and domestic, British and Palestinian, its warm appreciation of all the work they have done and the spirit in which they do it. Your Committee feels that the prestige of the Order is safe in their hands and higher praise it cannot bestow.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL CLASSES IN ENGLA D.

Classes at Unemployment Instntctional Centres.-The classes at the Unemployment Instructional Centres of the 1ini try of Labour, mentioned as proposals in last year's report, were duly organized. During the period under review three were held at Brandon in Norfolk, and the rest at different Instructional Centres. Other Government Classes.-Apart from the very satisfactory standard in First Aid now reached by the Police in England, the high value of the training afforded by the St. John Ambulance Association is shown by the various Government institutions which have organized classes. The instruction of Masters of Casual \Vards, which had not materialized when last year's report was written, has now commenced. There have been further prison classes, with their valuable contribution to the moral and mental welfare of the prison~rs, 'while various Government Departments and Ministries are taking advantage of the facilities offered by the Association to learn First Aid. The Army.-First Aid classes in the Army have again been carried out in Aldershot and also in Malta. At the latter place some 800 men have been trained since 1932. It should be noted that this is in addition to the routine classes for the R.A.M.C. It is difficult to exaggerate the value of such knowledge to the officers and men of the Armed Forces. Other Classes.-Certain colleges have organized First Aid classes for their staffs; Cheltenham Ladies' College carried ou t a cour e of instruction in Home Nursing and various Girls' Clubs have followed this good example. The British Broadcasting Corporation have appreciated the value of First Aid and classes have been organized for their Engineers at various transmitting stations of their organization. CLASSES OVERSEAS.

The progress made in the instruction of classes in New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada can be seen from the Annual Reports of the Directors of Ambulance in those places, which are printed on pages 76-85 of this report. The work in Australia has again made great strides as will be seen from the abridged reports from the Centres shown elsewhere in this report. In the Empire of India the work of the Association continues to increase and extracts from the report of this Branch will be found elsew here of this report. Apart from the Dominions, First Aid is going ahead in the smaller colonies. Classes have been held in Singapore, where the course of events has made First Aid a matter of the first importance: 600 of the Police are already in possession of certificates and apart from these the Centre is expanding and sub-Centres are springing up all over the Federated Malay States. In Nigeria, although the need is not so apparent, the value of First Aid training in the Police Force is thoroughly appreciated and every European officer must qualify so as to be able to give preliminary instruction to the African Police under his command as a preparation

for more advanced instruction by the medical officers. For Police purposes, Northern and Southern Nigeria and Lagos are now one unit. The native personnel of the Sudan Rail~ays have shown th: greatest interest in First Aid, and the Senior Medical Inspector and hIS secondin-command are giving their services free, both for instruction and examination. There being no Arabic translation of the textbook all classes have written up complete notebooks in Arabic, which is a striking illustration of how wide is the appeal of the Association's teaching. In Jamaica 20 branches were functioning last year. T.he Police give their personnel extensive instruction and over 200 were mstructed and examined in the year under review. In Cypru training was initiated b~ the Police. and now the C~prus Mines orporation and the Cyprus AntI-TuberculosIs League are deSIrous of co-operating with the Association. British Honduras is continuing the instruction of the Police and the \Vindward Islands are taking in hand the instruction of the Volunteers, as also of Boy couts and Girl Guides; this training of youth constitutes, .. perhaps, the most valuable type of training. In Fiji a definite effort is being made to spread the teachmg of Flrst Aid; indeed the formation of a Division of the Brigade is not unlikely. The Branch of the Association in Aden had temporarily lapsed, but it is very satisfactory to record that it is being revived under a strong Committee and that classes in First Aid, Home Nursing, and Hygiene are being formed. Attention should be drawn to the change of status of Burma which, now being separated from India, is organizing a Centre in direct touch with St. John's Gate, separate from the Indian Branch of the Association. In the Gold Coast, where last year instruction in First Aid was started among the Police, the work is spreading to the civilian population. Branches are being formed in the Western Province in order that instruction may be given to the numerous personnel of the gold mines and other industries in that part. The widespread activities recorded above do not exhaust the work of the Association overseas; they are quoted to illustrate the fact that the teaching of the Association, apart from its manifest practical usefulness to public servants, public utility services, and the like, makes an appeal to all races and ages by its own intrinsic value. This fact vnll not only give great satisfaction to members of the Order and Association, but, in addition, should prove a real inspiration to those entrusted with the conduct of the work. VISITORS.

During the year it was a great pleasure to meet many overseas visitors at St. John's Gate. Among those who were present in London for the Jubilee Celebrations of the Brigade and who were also directly representing the Association were Lieut.-Colonel R. E. vVodehouse, the Lieutenant of the Commandery in Canada, and Colonel A. E. Snell, the Director of Ambulance of the Commandery in Canada; Mr. Alpheus Williams, Director of Ambulance of the Commandery in Southern Africa, and Mr. A. M. Anderson the Secretary to the Lieutenant of the Commandery in Southern Africa; and Lieut.-Colonel A. J. Gatt, the Secretary

The value of such visits and the resulting per onal touch is v ry great and the Ambulance Department would like to put on record t.heir deep appreciation of these visits to Headquarters by overseas visilors who, in many cases, have little time t.o spare. COLONEL SLEEMA

's TOUR OVERSEAS.

Colonel J. L. Sleeman, a Knight of the Order and Chief ommi sioner of the St. John Ambulance Brigade Ov rases, sailed from Englanel on the 13th November, 1936, on a tour which included vi 'its to Talta, India, Burma, Ceylon, Singapore, lIong Kong, Aden, and Gibrallar. He returned in time for the Brigade Jubilee in May, lD:17 . Til tour proved highly valuable in the stimulus it gave to sc:oc iat ion work of those places. REVISION OF FIRST AID TEXTBOOK.

A new and revised First Aid Textbook is being produced which will be some 40 pages larger than the present (38th) edition. The illustrations will be produced from photographs. MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST.

Various new features and certain departures from previou s procedure have been introduced since last year's report :(1) Mixed classes in First Aid have now been sanctioned under special regulations. (2) The certificate of the National Fire Brigades' Association has been accepted as qualifying towards the Medallion of the Associat.ion. (3) By permission of the British Broadcasting Corporation talks on First Aid were broadcast immediately before Easter, Whitsun, and August Bank Holidays. Instruction in First Aid by television has also been given a trial. FIRST AID COMPETITIONS.

Police National Competition.-In the usual Eliminating Competition for the Police Forces of England and Wales held in each of the nine Police Districts in January, over 100 teams competed. The Final Competition was held at the Central Hall, Westminster, on the 26th February.

Holland- lartin, Chairman of the Southenl Railway. Among other present were IajorGeneral Sir Perci\'al \\ ilkinson, Dir ctor of the Ambulan e epartm nt of the Order, and Lady \ ilkinson, and ir Ralph \V c1gewood, hief General l\Ianager of the London and North East rn Railway. Ir. Holland-l\lartin, in presenting the prizes, said he was grateful for the invitation to be present at the Competition, in which he wac; greatly interested. A knowledge of Fir t Aid work was most important and should be acquired by men, women, and children in all ranks of life. The perils of the road \yere great and it \\'a essential that sp edy treatment should be given in the case of accidents. The railways \vere always interested in Fir t Aid work and they saw in it a way of prot cting those who travel by rail. The Ambulance Committee of the Order again offers to Mr. and Mrs. John l\laxwell, and Mr. Joseph Grossman, of Associated British Pictures Corporation, Limited, their thanks for their continued kind as i tance in staging the Police and Railway Competitions. The effective manner in 'which this is carried out contributes very much to the succe of those events and the Committee is exc edingly grateful to them. STORES DEPARTME T.

The Stores Department has had a record year. The Coronation, followed by the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations, was doubtless responsible for the increased activity. INV ALID TRA SPORT CORPS.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GE ERAL

From the above it will be seen that the total number of members of the Brigade is 84,419. This steady inc~ea.se which s.o far has taken place year by year is a proof that the CommIssIOners, theIr staff , a~d all ranks are carrying out their duties with energy and success. As I sa~d last year no organization could continue to expand so regularly unless It was both necessary and successful in the work it was carrying out. I am particularly pleased to see the large increase in the number of Cadet units and members. I attach the greatest importance to developing this side of the Brigade. If one can interest the younger members of the community in the movement, a large proportion of them "vill eventually enter the adult units. \Vith a view to encouraging thi idea several proposals have been recently approved by the Brigade ubCommittee. WORK OF THE BRIGADE.

From the reports I have received from Commissioners I find that the demands on the services of the members continue to increase; this is particularly so in connection with the Air Raid Precautions cherne which is dealt with later in my Report. During the past year our members dealt with 688,823 cases of accident or sudden illness which is 74,450 more than the previous year which was a record. These figures are an eloquent proof of the value of the services rendered by the Brigade to the Public. I am satisfied that the members of the Brigade are maintaining their high standard of efficiency in First Aid in spite of the large amount 01 time which they have spent in studying the subject of Air Raid Precautions which naturally is somewhat outside their normal duties. Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and \i\Telfare Centres by member of the Nursing Divisions during the year were 33,507, an increase of 344 compared with 1936. There is an increase in the number of Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts established on the main roads to deal with motor accidents. \Ve have now 216 Roadside Huts and 1,148 First Aid Posts. The outstanding duty undertaken during the year was that on the occasion of the Coronation of Their Majesties. The total personnel on duty was 7,500 made up as follows :-Surgeons 99, No.1 District 5,390, Other Districts 1,790; St. Andrew's Ambulance Brigade 21; and members of Women's Detachments of the British Red Cross Society 200. The route of the procession was 6t miles long. The work entailed long hours of duty on all members, many of whom had travelled all night to attend this important ceremony. The organization of the duty was carried out by Captain W. Goodley, M.C., the Commissioner of No. 1 District; it involved very elaborate staff arrangements as detachments came from all over the Kingdom. My sincere thanks are due to Captain Goodley and his Staff for the admirable manner in which the duty was carried out. The total number of cases treated by members of the Brigade was 9,583, of which 162 were removed to Hospital. I may mention that 10 members of the Brigade were honoured with invitations to attend the ceremony of the Coronation in Westminster Abbey in addition to those who were present on duty. My thanks are due to many business firms who lent their premises to the Brigade for the purpose of Dressing and Rest Stations.

JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS.

The Jubilee Ceremonies to celebrate the fiftieth year since ~he formation of the Brigade, which were organized by the Order, consIsted of (a) a Reception at t. John's Gate on 14th May; (b) an Afternoon Party at St. Jame 's Palace on 18th May; (c) Empire First Aid and Nursing Competitions on 21st fay; (d) a Review in Hyde Park on 22nd May of representative Units of the Brigade at Home and Overseas by ~er Majesty The Queen; (e) a ervice at St. Paul's Cathedral of representatIve units of the Brigade at Home and Overseas attended by a small Chapter consisting of H.R.H. The Duke of Kent (representing the Grand Prior), the Executive Officers and two representatives of each Priory and Commandery, on 23rd May; (f) Investiture at Buckingham Palace on 25th May; (g) a Tea Party at the House of Lords on the 28th May at the kind invitation of Lord Onslow and other members of the House of Lords. In regard to the above functions all of which were most successful and which I know gave the greatest pleasure to those members of the Brigade who were privileged to attend, the Royal Review calls for special mention. The Parade, which consisted of representative units from Home and Overseas, included both Ambulance and Nursing Units and also Home Cadet Units. The total pre ent was 5,157 members. The Home Units were commanded by myself, and the Overseas units by the Chief Commi ioner Overseas. In my opinion the steadiness of the units, the turnont, and the marching, was highly creditable to all concerned. The Bands which helped so much to make the occasion a success were all supplied by units of the Brigade. Following the Review, the following gracious message was received from Her Majesty the Queen : "Please convey to all ranks of the St. John Ambulance Brigade my appreciation of their smartness on parade this afternoon. It was mo t gratifying to me to see the Overseas contingents so well represented and a ommandant-in-Chief of the Nursing Corps and Divisions of the Brigade, I was particularly pleased to see so many nurses taking part in the Review. I ·would also ask you to convey to all the members who were on duty my admiration of their splendid services on Coronation Day. ELIZABETH R." For the Empire First Aid Competitions, the teams consisted of three Home and five Overseas for the Ambulance Divisions, and two Home and six Overseas for the Nursing Divisions. The results were as follows :-. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)

The South African No.1 Team won the Earl of Scarbrough's Cup for the best individual. The cups and prizes were presented by H.R.H. Princess Alice Countess of Athlone, Dame Grand Cross of the Order. I feel confident that the presence of members of the Brigade at Home and Overseas at the above Jubilee functions has done an immense amount of good in cementing the goodwill between the two bodies and in establishing even further the feeling of comradeship which has always existed. MOTOR AMBULANCES. 316 Motor Ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions. These Ambulances carried 123,359 cases, compared with 112,001 in 1936, the total mileage being 1,411,537. The Road Service is closely allied to that of the Motor Ambulances, and continues to be undertaken by members of the Brigade on the principal highways during the week-ends of the summer months. The number of road accidents attended was 22,316, the mileage incurred being 189,712. These services entail a considerable amount of self-sacrifice on the part of those Divisions undertaking them, and the greatest credit reflects upon the officers and members for the prompt and efficient manner in which they perform their duties. They are worthy of all possible praise. RESERVES. The Royal Naval Auxiliary Sick Berth Reserve.-This Reserve is at full strength, with a long Waiting List. At the request of the Medical Director-General, the establishment of this Reserve has been increased from 1,275 to 1,400. Ten Reservists were detailed to serve at the Coronation Review at Spithead. 1,138 ratings attended at Royal Naval Hospitals for training. The Inspecting Medical Officer inspected Reservists of the Ashington, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Brierfield, Burnley, Padiham, Nelson, CoIne, Barrowford, Earby, Foulridge, and Barnoldswick Units. Drill and various tests were carried out satisfactorily, and the Inspecting Medical Officer in his report states: " I am impressed by the loyalty and enthusiasm

and discipline shown by the R.N.A.S.B.R., and am satisfied that it constitutes a valuable Reserve." A1ilitary Hospitals Reserve.-The strength of this Reserve is 1,804. 800 members undertook a week's course of training at Military Hospitals during the year. The reports received from the Hospitals were very satisfactory. Voluntary Aid Detachments.-There are 346 St. John Voluntary Aid Detachments registered at the Vvar Office with a total personnel of 8,235, of which 1,788 are enrolled as mobile members. In comparison with 1036, there is an increase of 6 Detachments and 626 Members including 56 mobile members. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. This is the third year of this most important work, undertaken at the request of the Home Office A.R.P. Department, and a particularly heavy demand on the services of the Brigade has been made in connection therewith. The responsibilities which the Brigade has undertaken have added enormously to the work of the Commissioners and their Staffs, and I am greatly indebted to them for their zeal and enthusiasm and sacrifice of time, which has resulted in the great progress made to meet a National appeal. The fi gures of trained personnel are : Instructors. Civilia n Anti-Gas School Grade 1 Grade 2

These figures represent those who have taken the examination and obtained a certificate, whereas a very much larger number has attended A.R.P. Courses. Our Instructors in addition to training Brigade personnel have been in great demand for training the general public. In this connection many thousands of the public have received instruction whilst 10,348 have passed an examination and received a certificate. At the request of the Home Office A.R.P. Department our week-end Courses, primarily commenced to provide Instructors for the Brigade, were opened to the general public, with the result that nominees of the Home Office, Colonial Office, County and Borough Councils, British Red Cross Society, and large public and commercial undertakings have attended these week-end Courses. Up to date to the end of the year, thirteen week-end Courses have been held, thereby making it possible for over 3,000 members of the Brigade and general public to qualify to sit for an examination for Grade 1 Instructor. These Courses have filled a great gap in providing Instruc.tors, and they are so highly reported upon that demands for vacanCIes for each Course exceed the seating capacity of the accommodation available. . I am indebted to my Headquarters Staff and the Lecturers, who have gIven up their week-ends to make these Courses so exceedingly successful.

ST. J OHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE AT HOME.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Dr. Bentall, my A.R.P. Staff Officer at Brigade Headquarter, ha made many visits to the provinces, guiding local offIcers in A.R.P. training, meeting Council authorities and speaking at public meeting, and his work in this connection has been of immense value to Brigade and Councils alike. My reference to A.R.P. work would be incomplete without reference to the magnificent services rendered by Mr. and Irs. John 1axwell and Mr. Joe Grossman in the provision of excellent film, and also the entertainment at the week-end courses for those students who come from afar. The films have been shown in 223 towns and without forgetting their huge propaganda value to the Brigade activities, they have been one of the finest recruiting agencies in connection with A.R.P. services. A series of four films have been in circulation dealing very fully with A.R.P. services, and shortly a new film embodying features of the four film series and up-to-date methods will be ready for i -sue. This new film is another generous gift of Mrs. Maxwell, and is produced by If. Joe Grossman. COMPETITIO s. The Annual Competitions for the Dewar and Perrott hields and other trophies took place at the Great Central Hotel, 1arylebone, London, N.\V. 1, on the 9th April, 1937.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

HEADQUARTERS STAFF. I wish to thank Lady Perrott, R.R.C., Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, for the highly efficient manner in which she has administered the Nursing Divisions, and for her loyal support to myself. Lady Perrott has be.en indefatigable in carrying out inspections and bringing to my notIce valuable suggestions for improving the efficiency of the J ur ing Divisions. My thanks are due to Dr. N. Corbet Fletcher, Surgeon-in-Chief, for the able manner in which he has carried out his onerous duties, and for the large number of inspections he has carried out. His inst.itutioll. of an annual Surgeons Conference has been a means of largely 1l1creasmg the efficiency of this side of the work. . I also wish to thank the other members of my personal staff, who dunng the past strenuous year have never spared themselves, and w~o by th.eir hard work and efficiency have ensured the success of the functIons whIch have been carried out. ACCOU TS. I must again report that I have been much impressed by the wa.y in which units have collected sufficient funds not only to pay theIr way, but also in many cases to p.urchase th~ir .He~~quarters. Great cre~it is due to those who have carned out thIS 1l1vIdlOUS task of collect1l1g money. I am deeply grateful to the Honorary Treasurers and Honorary Auditors for their valuable services. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT. The Municipal and Police Authorities throughout the country have continued to afford us valuable support. In many cases the local mayors are in the Chair at our public meetings, which is always encouraging. CONCLUSION. My thanks are due to the Commissioners, their Staffs, Surgeons, Officers, and other ranks for their loyal support, and for the praiseworthy manner in which they carry out their duties, often at great personal sacrifice. I feel certain that it is this willing personal service which has earned for the Brigade the high respect in which it is held by the public. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, J. DUNCAN, M a)'or-General, Chief Commissioner. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS.

It was most gratifying to have such a splendid representation of the Brigade Overseas at the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Brigade held in London. There were some 300 members of the Brigade Oversea in London and with the addition of the friends and relatives of these mem bers and those representing the Order and Association from overseas, the number of overseas visitors at most of the functions was nearly 400. All overseas visitors greatly appreciated the various functions arran cyed in connection with the Celebrations and the other efforts- both offIcial and unofficial-which were made for their entertainment. The over eas representation included those from Australia, anada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Malta, and Hong Kong. With regard to the various functions : Mrs. Dent's At Home, 13th May.-Held at the Ladies' Army and I Tavy Club by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Brigade Overseas this was attended by large numbers of the overseas members of the Brigade.

All the "Vi it or were entertained to tea and given an opportunity of being conducted over the ancient Gate. Afternoon Party at St. James's Palace, 18th Jllay.- This function was somewhat spoiled by the inclement weather, but all visitors appreciated the privilege of the invitation to this historic palace and the kindness of H.R.H. The Grand Prior in extending the invitation. The guests were received by H.R.H. Prince Arthur of Connaught and Lady Patricia Ramsay. Display of Films at Regal Cinema, 19th May.-Through the kindness and generosity of Mrs. John Maxwell and Mr. J.

Colonel Sleeman's At Home, 19th May.-This was held at the Royal Empire Society, when the opportunity was taken by the Chief Commissioner to meet the Ambulance Officers and men from overseas. First Aid Competition, 21st May.-This competition was unique in that it was the first occasion on which Brigade teams from overseas and home had competed against each other and I was highly delighted at the excellent showing of the overseas teams reflecting as it does that the high standard of First Aid in the Brigade at Home is being maintained in all parts of the Empire. Trophies for the competition were kindly offered by the following members of the Order : Major-General the Earl of Scarbrough, Sub-Prior of the Order (for the competitors in each section with the highest marks in the individual tests); Major-General Sir John Duncan, Chief Commissioner of the

Review, 22nd M ay.-At the historic Review in Hyde Park by Her Ma]esty the Queen, I was greatly pleased with the appearance of the 240 overseas members on parade; the largest number of overseas members ever to parade in England. Prior to the March Past, five overseas members had the honour of being presented to Her Majesty. These were chosen from t?e p,arade as the five members from the Dominions and Empire of IndIa WIth the longest service. They were : District Superintendent A. S. vVilkinson, Australia. Lady Corps Superintendent Miss Hudson, Canada. Senior District Superintendent J. C. White, New Zealand. District Officer A. J. G. Inglis, South Africa. Divisional Surgeon M. M. Dubash, India.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GEr ERAL

I regret very much that a few weeks after this parade 11r. J. C. \Yhite was taken ill and died while on holiday in Scotland. A copy of the Queen's message to the parade and of the hief Commissioner's reply was circulated to all members of the Brigade OYerseas on parade and, later, incorporated in a Brigade Order to all Divi ions of the Brigade O\'ersea. The message and reply was :" Please conyey to all ranks of the t. John Ambulance Brigade my appreciation of their smartness on parade this afternoon. It was most gratifying to me to see the overseas contingents so well represented and, as Commandant-in-Chief of Nursing Corps and Division, I wa particularly pleased to see so many nur es taking part in the Review.

Cenotaph Parade, 23rd May.-On the morning of the 23rd ~Iay, the overseas contingents paraded in uniform at the Cenotaph and laid wreaths from the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions Overseas. Service at St. Paul's Cathedral, 23rd May.-In the afternoon of 23rd ~Iay the overseas members joined with those of the Brigade at Home at the Church Parade and Commemorative ervice at t. Paul' Cathedral. This Service was attended by H.R.H. The Duke of Kent, member of the Chapter-General and of the Commandery Chapters. Investiture at Buckingham Palace, 25th May.-Those oversea members who were invested, or had the honour of being present as pectators, will not readily forget the Investiture which His Majesty was plea ed to cany out at Buckingham Palace. Among those invested on this occa ion were H.R.H. The Duchess of Glouce ter, Deputy Commandant-in-Chief of Nursing Divisions, and H.R.H. The Duchess of Kent, Lady uperintendent-in-Chief for the Priory for Wales. It is a matter for regret that owing to limited accommodation it was not possible for every overseas visitor to be present. Party at House oj Lords, 28th May.-The overseas visitors w re entertained to tea in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords by the Earl of Onslow and members of the Chapter-General. The visitors were afterwards conducted round the Houses of Lords and Commons and were greatly interested in all they were shown. Air Raid Precautions Course, 29th-30th May.-Although some of the overseas members had returned home over 200 of those that remained were present at the Air Raid Precautions Course arranged for them in connection with the Jubilee Celebrations. During the week-end opportunity was made for the presentation of a cup given by His Worship the Mayor of St. Marylebone to the team from Hong Kong and of a Brigade Standard given by Sir John Duncan to the Transvaal District of South Africa. Over 60 members were examined for Instructors' certificates before leaving England; a tribute to -their keenness in devoting time to study during what was to many a costly and hard earned holiday.

At the conclusion of the Celebrations the Chief Commissioner issued a Brigade Order which stated : " At the conclusion of the Celebrations I wish to offer my congratulation upon the splendid showing of the overseas contingents. "That the overseas teams did so well in the Empire First Aid Competition shows the high standard of effi~iency which now obtains throughout the Briti h Commonwealth of NatI?ns. . " At the Review in Hyde Park I was partIcularly pleased WIth the smart appearance of the overseas contingents and to observe their high standard of bearing and discipline, which reflects great credit not only on those present, but on the various units of the Brigade Overseas from which the representatives were chosen. " I feel that the Brigade Overseas has been worthily represented on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee and I hope that all representatives canied away with them an inspiration from the Celebrations and happy memorie of their stay in this country." \"ith regard to the vvork in each country

Con equent upon the political separation of Burma from India, the Brigade there i no longer controlled from Indian Headquarters but is directly under the charge of t. John's Gate. Efforts have been made in Burma during the year to timulate the work of the Brigade and a meeting ha been held under the leader hip of Her Excellency Lady Cochrane to consider the formation of a Nursing Division. CA ADA.

The Brigade within the Commandery in Canada is growing in strength as evidenced by the formation of six new Divisions during the year. An increasing number of Public Duties are undertaken which this year included duty on the occasion of week-end skiing in Montreal and the Lying-in- tate of Brother Andre on which latter occasion the 45 members who were on duty attended over 500 cases. CEYLO

Following the visit of the Chief Commissioner I am glad to be able to report the formation of a Nursing Division at Colombo. This is the fir t Nursing Division to be formed there since the disbandment of the original Nursing Division in 1927. I very much regret to have to report the retirement during the year of Sir Herbert Dowbiggin, the Inspector-General of the Ceylon Police Force and District Superintendent of the Ceylon District of the Brigade. ir Herbert Dowbiggin was instrumental in organizing the formation

The strength of the District has been increased by the formation of a new Nursing Division during the year. A great strain has, undoubtedly, been thrown on our organization in Hong Kong by reason of the unsettled conditions prevailing in the Far East. The work has been greatly increased by outbreaks of disease among the large numbers of refugees who have come into the Colony.

MALTA. The Brigade in Malta continues to maintain its strength and efficiency. At the request of Professor Bernard-the Officer in charge-changes have been made in the District Staff whereby Lieut.-Colonel A. J. Gatt has been appointed Commissioner in charge of the District, with Professor Bernard as District Surgeon and Captain S. A. Gouder-Carbone as. District uperintendent. NEW ZEALA D. The Brigade within the Commandery in New Zealand continues to increase year by year-a matter for much congratulation to those in charge of it. During 1937 13 Adult Divisions and 9 Cadet Divisions have been formed and the annual census of Public Duty on a selected date shows that more members were on duty than in the previous year. A new Sub-District has been formed from part of the vVanganui District, known as the Taranaka Sub-District. The Officer in charge of the \Vellington District-Mr. F. \V. \Vardhas been promoted to the rank of Commissioner, and District Supt. \V. \V. Dutton has been promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner in the same District. SOUTH AFRICA. The strength of the Brigade within the Commandery has increased during the year by 13 Divisions and 4 Cadet Divisions. A new District -the Rhodesia District-has been created of which the Rhodesia Railways will form a Sub-District. CYPRUS, KENYA, UGANDA, AND ZANZIBAR. The Police Divisions in these places report that their strength and efficiency has been maintained and that during the year a great many instances of First Aid (often in difficult and trying circumstances) have been reported. CO TCLUSION. Colonel Sleeman has asked me to include his name with mine in expressing our thanks to Mrs. Lancelot Dent, the Lady Superintendentin-Chief, for her valued services to the Brigade Overseas especially during the time of the Jubilee. Finally I would convey to all ranks of the Brigade Overseas the sincere appreciation of Colonel Sleeman and myself for their loyal and valuable services to the work of the Brigade Overseas throughout the Empire. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your 0 bedien t servant, (Signed) P. S. WILKINSON, Major-General. Acting Chief Commissioner.

INDIA. The strength of the Brigade in India has shown a considerable growth. Twelve new Ambulance Divisions and six new Nursing Divisions have been formed and a new District has been created comprising the Central Provinces and known as the No.8 District. There have been several changes in the Superior Officers during the year. It was with great regret that the resignations were received of :Major-General Sir Cuthbert Sprawson, C.LE., Surgeon-in- hief; Colonel L. V. Thurston, D.S.O., Commissioner No. 2 District; lajorGeneral Sir Frank Connor, D.S.O., Assistant Commissioner No.4 District ; Lieut.-Colonel Sir Hassan Suhrawardy, O.B.E., Assistant ommissioner No.6 District; Colonel H. C. Buckley, M.D., Assistant Commi ioner No. 7 District; Dr. K. B. Sikand, Staff Officer for Training, Indian Headquarters. Their places have been taken by:Major-General E. W. C. Bradfield, C.LE., Surgeon-in-Chief; l\IajorColonel Norman General P. S. Mills, Commissioner No. 2 District; Wilson, O.B.E., Assistant Commissioner No. 4 District; Dr. S. C. Chatterjee, Assistant Commissioner No. 6 District; Colonel J. A. Phillips, C.LE., Assistant Commissioner No. 7 District; Captain M. Hafiz-ud-Din, L.R.C.P., Staff Officer for Training, Indian Headquarters. In addition the following appointments have been made :Mr. S. G. Sastry, Assistant Commissioner No. 5 District; Colonel D. H. Rai, Assistant Commissioner No.8 District. I should like to express my great appreciation of the work done by the retiring officers and cordially welcome their successors. The Dress Regulations for India have been amended to permit the wearing of a khaki shirt with open collar in place of the khaki tunic in places where the climatic conditions justify it. I am glad to report that a scheme whereby the personnel of the Brigade in India is to be trained in Air Raid Precautions has been drawn upin co-operation with the Army Authorities-and is now in operation. MALAYA. It is with pleasure that I am able to report that following the Chief Commissioner's visit a start has been made with the formation of Divisions of the Brigade at Singapore. Four Ambulance Divisions have already been registered and there is a prospect of the formation of a Nursing Division. Captain J. S. Webster has been appointed District Superintendent in charge of the Singapore District.

JOINT COUNCIL. The. following were appointed the Order's representatives on the Joint Council of the Order and the British Red Cross Society for the year : H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, K.G., etc. Colonel Augustus M. O. Anwyl-Passingham, O.B.E.

RESERVES. The m embership of the Royal Naval Auxiliary ick Berth Reserve remains at twelve-one member on the waiting list having been enrolled in place of a reservist whose resignation was accepted. Military Hospital Reservists in \Vales increased by 29 to a total of 460, with fresh applications for enrolment following at frequent intervals. Less popular in \ Vales is the scheme for Voluntary id Detachment, which differs from the above two Reserves in as much as enrolment i not confined to St. J ohn members . Progress can be reported in the County of Brecknock, however, where the appointment of the Lady President for the Brecknockshire Centre as County Controller has been followed by the formation of three new Detachments. The one "Jlale and eight Fem ale St. John D etachments in Wales have a total strength of 218 ; and it is hoped that as the result of a special appeal for V. .D. recruitment m ade to all Ambulance and Nursing Divisions at the commencement of 1938, a more progressive note will figure under the above heading in my next report. AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. The total awards issued to the 31st March, 1938, are 368 Grade 1, 264 Grade 2, 1,118 A.R.P ., and 645 G.P. Certificates. Good advantage has been taken of the excellent Week-end Courses arranged by the Chief Commissioner in London, though the expense involved in travelling t o and from London has deterred a greater Welsh participation. In selecting Brigade Officers for the Falfield Course the claims for A.R.P. Officers in the respective areas were considered; and five of the places allotted to Wales were occupied by the Superintendents of the Mines R escue Stations at Aberaman, Brynmenin, Crumlin, Dinas (Porth), and New Tredegar, who are rendering considerable service in the organization, instruction, and examination of Brigade A.R.P. Classes in the respective districts . Over 100 Grade 1 and Grade 2 Instructors gave up a week-end in August to perfect their knowledge by attendance at a R efresher Course organized by the Priory Headquarters A.R .P. Stafi Officer, Captain S. B. Turner, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. Dr. W . C. Bentall, O.B.E., A.R.P. Staff Officer to the Chief Commissioner, was good enough to address two meetings in Denbighshire, where classes have since been held, and paid a second visit to North Wales on the occasion of the combined inspection at Chirk Castle, where his address was heard by a gathering representing the Brigade in six counties and members of the general public. A.R.P. Demonstrations have become a feature at the annual inspections arranged in the various counties; and the supply of respirators and protective clothing on loan to the Priory is in constant circulation.

BRIGADE ACTIVITIES. The number of cases of accident and sickness treated by Brigade members according to records at Priory House is 72,695. Of this total 2,581 were road accidents; and Nursing members put in 698 attendances at Hospitals and Clinics. Reference to the duties in connection with Iedical omforts Depots is included under a separate heading. A dozen First Aid Huts and 107 First Aid Posts and Roadside boxes are maintained by Brigade Divisions. Special mention should be made of the services being rendered by Ambulance and Nursing Members at First Aid Stations erected on most of the beaches at the popular seaside resorts. At Barry, Glamorgan, the station was open daily during the whole of the holiday season, during which time local Brigade members dealt with over 2,000 case. The outstanding public duties of the year were those undertaken by 100 representative Brigade members who were privileged to attend for duty in Hyde Park on the memorable occasion of the Coronation, while a large contingent of senior and junior members participated in the Review by Her 1.1ajesty the Queen in Hyde Park, which commenced the Brigade Silver Jubilee celebrations. A great many Divisions have seen fit to persuade a number of members to participate in hospital schemes for blood donors; and without any particular encouragement from Priory Headquarters considerable service is being rendered by this means. CADET CAMPS. A second grant of £250 was received from King George's Jubilee Trust for Cadet Camping; and 100 Girl Cadets enjoyed a delightful week at Barry Island in the Hutments kindly placed at the Priory's disposal by the Glamorgan Territorial Army and Air Force Association, under the able control of Lady County Officer Mrs. S. B. Turner, as Commandant, and Lady County Officer Iiss E. A. Gravenor, a trained urse, as Assistant Commandant. For three subsequent weeks the camp was occupied by 100 Boy Cadets ; and County Officer A. Blandford was good enough to fill the office of Commandant for the whole period. BRIGADE SURGEONS' CO FERE CE o The first Conference of Brigade Surgeons called by Dr. D. Rocyn Jones, C.B.E., since his appointment as Surgeon-in-Chief for Wales, was held on the morning of Sunday, 26th September, when a representative gathering of doctors travelled to Cardiff from counties as far distant as 1erionethshire in the north and Pembrokeshire in the west to take part in the discussions on various medical aspects of Brigade work. It was decided to make the Surgeons Conference an annual event. BRIGADE I SPECTIO s. With three exceptions only, the Brigade Units in every Centre and County Area in \Vales were officially inspected during the year; and the Commissioner for Wales, who conducted seventeen inspections personally, was able to avail himself of the valuable services of the Assistant Commissioner for "Vales, Mr. A. G. E. J. Fudge, in connection with eight. Lady (Herbert) Lewis, O.B .E., Assistant Lady Superintendentin-Chief for Wales, attended very readily whenever Nursing members

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

were on parade; and the Surgeon-in-Chief and his Assistant gave the Inspecting Officers the benefit of their presence on the majority of occasions. Officers and member of Nursing Divisions in \Yales were delighted to take advantage of the opportunity of being on parade at the first inspection carried out by H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent ince her acceptance of office as Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for \Vales, on the occa ion of her visit to the Priory in company with H.R.H. the Prior on the 20th October. ANNUAL

COMPETITIO~S.

The introduction of Cadet Competitions into the various Centre programmes was responsible for the gift of eight cups during 1938, bringing the number of trophies vested in the Priory Trustees to 131 , of a total value of £2,269. The Priory accepts responsibility for in uring, cleaning, and inscribing these trophies, which are competed for annually. As winners in the Welsh Brigade Finals, the Tredegar Ambulance and Llanelly Nursing Teams represented \Vales in London . In the Welsh Railway Competition, organized each year by the Priory, the Newport High Street G.\V.R. Team was successful. In accordance with custom, the Priory organized Ambulance events in connection with the two Welsh National Gatherings, the Royal National Eisteddfod and the Royal \Velsh Show; and assistance was given to the promoters of competitions for Police, road transport workers, and other. GRANTS FROM SPECIAL AREAS

FU~D.

The adverse effects of the conditions in the poverty stricken tt special areas" of South Wales upon such voluntary organizations as the Brigade have been very greatly relieved by grants which have been made by the Commissioner for the Special Areas on the recommendation of the District Commissioner, Captain Geoffrey Crawshay, who has given mo t sympathetic consideration to the various applications for assistance put forward from time to time by the Priory. Reference was made in my last report to the stimulus imparted to enior Units by means of the equipment with uniform and first aid requisites of unemployed Ambulance and Nursing members of Units in the area concerned to the extent of £5,000. Two further grants are due for mention now, viz. one of £2,783 for Cadet uniform and an allocation of £5,000 towards the provision of Ambulance Halls, while a grant for establishing Medical Comforts Depots is reported upon under a separate heading below. MEDICAL COMFORTS DEPOTS.

The Priory for Wales takes credit for initiating the scheme for the provision on loan of Medical Comforts and sick room requisites for the sick poor through the medium of Medical Comforts Depots; and though the 52 Depots operating in Wales dealt with the issue of a total of 7,616 articles during 1937, development of this branch of activity has been impeded for the past few years by the inability of Divisions to raise funds necessary to replenish stocks. The Priory therefore welcomed an opportunity to co-operate in a scheme for the establishment of a chain of Medical Comforts Depots in the Special Areas. The Health Services Committee of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Council of Social

PRIORY FOR \VALES.

Cont.

Service, having been successful in obtaining a grant from the Commission for the Special Areas for the purpose of largely augmenting the number of District Nurses, submitted to him a scheme which envisaged the reequipment of existing Depots and the establishment of new ones where necessary, to meet the increased demand for sick room requisites consequen t upon the expansion of the Nursing Services. The Priory gladly undertook to be responsible for the provision of personnel and premises in respect of 50 Depots, the British Red Cross Society accepting responsibility for 8. The Commissioner's approval was intimated at the beginning of December; and it was agreed that the value of the scheme would be enhanced if the number of Depots could be increased and the articles thereby rendered more generally accessible. To this end, there was a splendid response to the appeal for the co-operation of Brigade Units in the additional districts involved, with the result that it has been possible to provide equipment for 67 St. John Depots instead of the 50 originally contemplated. MOTOR

Al\fBULA~CE

TRAXSPORT SERVICE.

The unbroken record of annual increases in the number of cases removed and mileage travelled by the Priory's ambulances since 1919 was maintained last year when the figures rose by 2,005 cases and 22,705 miles on the 1936 totals to 18,241 and 302,240 respectively for the year. The number of stations remains the same as last year, but the Service is receiving fuller support from all sources as the demand for ambulance transport facilities develops. An aggregate number of 27,000 householders are entitled to the free use of an ambulance for themselves or dependants as members of 71 Colliery Lodges, while 60 other bodies of workmen, embracing 4,700 men, are contributing on a similar basis of one penny per week. The Priory gratefully acknowledges a further grant of £1,000 for capital expenditure from the Joint Committee for Monmouthshire and South \Vales Miners' Welfare Fund. STORES DEPARTME T.

The ordinary sales of textbooks, stores, and uniform were well maintained indicating that the free issue of uniform and equipment to the extent of the £5,000 grant from the Special Areas Fund during the previous year had stimulated the purchase of uniform for tho e not eligible for benefit. Of the 6,937 publications sold, 2,907 were A.R.P. handbooks. The demand for the Welsh translations of the Preliminary textbooks is almost negligible. Advantage was taken of exhibiting First Aid and ambulance requisites at a stand granted free by the South Wales Institute of Engineers at the Exhibition held in Cardiff in November. DECEASED MEMBERS.

I? .r~vie~ng the events of 1937, one recalls the gloom cast over Priory actiVIties m January by the loss of its Honorary olicitor, the late Mr. Hugh ~. Ingledew, who was the last of the three original Trustee. No Executive Officer made a more valuable contribution to the establishment and progress of the first Priory of the Order; and the death of one whose character and personality had endeared him to all his associates and colleagues leaves an' irreparable gap in Priory counsels.

COMMAI DERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

. EW APPOINTME TTS. The Priory was fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Norman Murray Ingledew to succeed his late brother in the important o£?ce of Honorary Solicitor; and Mr. Charles H. Keen a member of the Fmance Committee and generous contributor to Priory funds was appointed to the vacant office of Trustee. The acceptance of the office of Lady uperintendent for \Vales by the Countess of Plymouth was warmly welcomed by Nursing Officers and Members of the Brigade in Wales; and the Hon. Mrs. J. H. Bruce was appointed Lady Staff Officer for \Vales. ANNUAL MEETINGS. Members of the Priory extended a loyal welcome to T.R.H. the Duke and Duchess of Kent on the occasion of their fir t visit to the Priory. The Duke had attended Priory functions in his capacity of Prior in 1936, but it was the first appearance of the Duchess in the role and uniform of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief for \Vales. Their Royal Highnesses attended a Ball at the City Hall, Cardiff, on the 19th October, organized by a Committee over which Lady (Herbert) Lewis, O.B.E., Assistant Lady Superintendent-in-Chief presided; and Priory funds benefited to the extent of £1,000 from the proceeds and two anonymous cilonations. On the 20th October, H.R.H. the Prior presided for the first time at a meeting of the Chapter and at the following meeting of Gene~al Assembly, at which Her Royal Highness graciously presented the Bngade Colour, held an Investiture. THE COMMANDERY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery :We extend a most cordial welcome to Their Excellencies, ir Patrick Duncan, G.C.M.G., R.C., LL.D., R.ST.J., and Lady Duncan, D.ST.J., who arrived in Cape Town on 5th April. His Royal Highness the Grand Prior appointed His Excellency as our Knight Commander during his term of office as Governor-General of the Union, and Her Excellency has graciously accepted the office of Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions of the St. John Ambulance Brigade during that period. A meeting of the Commandery Chapter was held on 5th March, 1937, at which His Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, Knight Commander, presided. After an investiture by His Excellency of a number of new members of the Order the Lieutenant, Sir \Villiam Clark, G.C.M.G., R.C.S.L, addressed the Knight Commander as follows : By the gracious permission of His Excellency the Knight Commander, I rise to say a few words before the close of this ceremony- the last over which our Knight Commander will preside as head of the Commandery in Southern Africa-a few words of leave-taking on behalf of the Chapter and Members of the Commandery. " It is with deepest regret, sir, that we come to this moment of saying good-bye. Ours is a very junior Commandery, tbe first off-shoot overseas /C

of the Grand Priory in England; only some six years and a few months have elapsed since Lord Athlone presided over its inauguration Chapter; and we know very well how much the Commandery owes to the Knight Commander who has guided the infant footsteps of this nursling with so wise and watchful a solicitude. The Commandery was one of the first responsibilities which Lord Clarendon assumed on his landing in South Africa. Those of you who know our devoted Secretary, Mr. Anderson, who have observed the assiduity, the invincible determination, which he displays in all matters affecting the interests of the Order, will not be surprised to hear that he managed to secure an audience with His Excellency on the very first day which he spent in Cape Town, thus getting well ahead of all other institutions for social and charitable services which have since claimed His Excellency's support. From that day to thi , our Knight Commander has been unremitting in hi labours on our behalf. At his first Chapter Meeting he declared that it would be his earnest endeavour to uphold and carry out the principles and ideals of the Order in Southern Africa. That pledge he has fully redeemed, and over and above that he has brought to bear upon the Order's affairs that happy admixture of sagacity and sympathy, and, above all, good fellowship, which has been his peculiar secret in handling all the many responsibilities of his high office in the Union. "He has given special attention to the preservation and perfecting of the ceremonial which plays so important a part in the traditions of our Order. If testimony is needed to the fruits of his labours, we have it in Colonel Sleeman's generous commendation of the work of the Commandery when he left Africa on the completion of his tour of inspection on behalf of the Grand Prior. And we owe also a deep gratitude to Lady Clarendon for the sympathy and interest which she has taken in the Commandery, and for her work as Lady Superintendent-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions of the Ambulance Brigade. "In these restless days men's minds are apt to centre on the present and the immediate future, and to forget , or take for granted, the past and the labours of their predecessors. But with the brethren of the Venerable Order of St. John it should be otherwise. When we think of the Order, we think no doubt of its manifold activities to-day and the ever-expanding sphere of work which lies before it, but we think also, indeed its very name recalls its venerable and romantic past, of the past which stretches backwards through the mists of time to the dim epoch of the Middle Ages. It is a good and worthy tradition which teaches us to look backwards sometimes and honour those who have laboured before us, and I trust this Commandery will always keep alive the memory of the debt it owed in the days of its youth to our Knight Commander and to Lady Clarendon; and in that spirit, sir, the brethren and members of the Order bid you and Lady Clarendon farewell and pray that all good things may be yours in the days which are yet to come." /C

The Secretary read the following message from Sir Herbert J. Stanley, G.C.M.G., senior Knight of the Order in Southern Rhodesia : "As the Chapter Meeting on the 12th March will presumably be the Jast over which Lord Clarendon will preside as our Knight Commander,

COMMANDERY L

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

I trust that it may be possible for you to find an opportunity to convey to His Excellency an expression of the profound regret which all Rhodesian }lembers of the Order of St. John feel at his impending departure from outhern Africa. \Ve here, no less than our confreres in the nion, are very sensible of the great services which His Excellency has rendered to the Order during his tenure of his present high office. \Ve thank him sincerely and tender every good wish to him and to Lady Clarendon for their future happiness."

OUTHERN AFRICA.

" Sir William Clark, Members of the Commandery Chapter, 1embers of the Order, ladies and gentlemen, I rise to respond, on behalf of Her Excellency and myself, to the very generous words of prai e and encouragement which you, Sir William, have spoken in your farewell message on behalf of the Commandery, which we deeply appreciate. \Vhen we leave Cape Town next Friday we shall carry with us the happiest recollections-recollections which \~e shall always. cheri hof our association with the work of the Order m outhern Afnca. " It has been a great source of gratification to me-as it must be to all of you who have the interests of our work so much at heart-to mark the excellent progress which has been made during the years I ha\Te been privileged to hold the office of I night Commander. "You, Sir William, have referred to my taking over the guidance of the work of the Order of St. John-from my predecessor, the Earl of Athlone-from the nursling stage. As Knight Commander it has been my privilege to watch over the welfare of that nursling from its early days, and now I am glad to think that if it has not quite reached the adult stage-it has at any rate become a very healthy adolescent. " You have referred, in very kindly terms, to the work I have done for the Order of St. John in Southern Africa; but a very large portion of the credit for our advancement must be given to the Chapter and Council and to the many workers who have laboured so assiduously and supported me so loyally, and to the very able assistance which I have at all times received from the Headquarters Staff. " In bidding farewell to the Commandery, there is one event which has taken place during the past six years to which I refer with very great pleasure, that is the Admission to the Order of a number of Afrikaansspeaking members of the community. "There was a moment, not so long ago, when I was a little apprehensive as to whether the results we have since achieved were possible. But definite information came to my knowledge that a large number of Afrikaans-speaking people would welcome an opportunity of sharing in the work, ideals, and aspirations of our Order. "Since then, many members of the Afrikaans-speaking community have beeh admitted to membership, and it has given me very great pleasure to pin decorations on some of them this morning. " I hope that the number of these admissions will grow so that, in time, both races will be represented in the Commandery on a " fifty-fifty basis. "When I leave these shores my place will be taken by Sir Patrick Duncan -the direct representative of His Majesty the King, who, as you know, is Sovereign Head of our Order. JJ

I know that Sir Patrick will do all in his power to further our work and uphold the traditions of the Order, and I am satisfied that every member of the Order will give Sir Patrick the same loyal support they have given me. And fin all I hope that, at some future date, Her Excellency and I may board a ship whose fir t port of call will be Cape Town, and that we may have the privilege of meeting many of the friends we have made in this country, and renew our associations with the Commandery in Southern Africa of the Order of St. John. At the request of the Knight Commander, His Excellency, Sir Herbert J. tanley, G.C.M.G., K.ST.J., conducted an Investiture of Members of the Order at Government House, Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, on 25th March, 1937. "}Iembers of the Order within the Commandery were immensely pleased to hear of the notable achievements of our teams in the Empire First Aid Competition held in London in connection with the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations. It i very gratifying to note that the Commandery representation wa so large, and that the members of the contingent acquitted themselves in such a praiseworthy manner. . In thi ~onnection the Commandery Chapter records its deep appreciahon and smcere thank to all the members of the Grand Priory and the auth?rit~ s at t. John' Gate for the very kindly reception and generous hOSPItalIty accorded to our repre entative who were privileged to participate in the many official and social functions held during this m morable period. The Commandery Chapter records its special thanks to BrigadierGeneral J. J. Collyer, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., for the able manner in which he ca~ie.d out the dutie of Directo~ of Ambulance and Commandery CommI SIOner, and also as ecretary, m the absence of these officials for the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in England. . A suitable building for local Headquarters for the Order, the AssociatIon, and the Brigade within the Commandery has now become a matter of urg.ency. The work of the Order and its Departments is increasing o rapIdly that the present offices are quite inadequate, and out of keeping \vith the dignity of the work. '. t ~he end of last year,.an amount of £155 5s. for a local Headquarters Buildmg Fund was receIved through Mrs. Alpheus F. Williams, who has obtained a further £2, making a total of £157 5s. at the end of the year. The Commandery Chapter expresses its grateful appreciation to the Governm~nt of the Union, which, through the Departments of Defence and PublIc Health, continues its practical interest in the work of the Order, and specially thanks Colonel Sir Edward N. Thornton, K.B.E., ecretary for Public Health, and Colonel E. H. Cluver, Director of Medi~al Servic~s,. ~nd his taft, for the kindly personal interest they take m our actIVItIes. .T~e Reports of the Director of Ambulance and Commandery CommISSIOner show that, through both the Association and Brigade, their part of the Order's activities is making most praiseworthy progress. The Commandery Chapter cordially thanks all Officers and Members of the St. John Ambulance Association and the t. John Ambulance tI

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

Brigade for the valuable services they have so ably and willingly rendered in the interests of the Order, and for the many sacrifices they have made " Pro Utilitate H ominum ". ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATIO . I t is very gratifying to report another record year of progress which reflects the utmost credit on all concerned. The attached summary of awards issued by the respective Centres shows that 7,751 awards were issued during the past year- an increase of 518 awards, or 7 ·16 per cent in excess of the previous year's record. Progress has been maintained in the Afrikaans classes, and this in turn has added considerably to the membership of the Brigade. I have to express my great appreciation of the excellent services rendered by our Surgeon-Instructors in the various First Aid and Home Nursing classes. The extended instruction called for last year has, in many case, been considerably extended, and the Surgeon-Examiners ha\"e invariably remarked on the high standard of knowledge shown at the various examinations. Instructions in Air Raid Precautions has practically been in abeyance awaiting information from the responsible authorities. The whole question will be dealt with by the Commandery at an early date, and instructions on the lines to be adopted will be issued in due course. During the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in London last year, and through the courtesy of our good friends at St. John's Gate, an intensi e Special Course in First Aid in Air Raid Precautions was arranged. Special mention must be made of the splendid facilities provided by the " Gate", and also to the very able and painstaking manner in which Dr. Bentall and his staff imparted the instructions, which received the grateful appreciation and thanks of all who were privileged to attend the course. At the subsequent examination, 32 South African representatives gained certificates. The Seventh Annual Meeting of the Ambulance Committee was held in the Council Chamber, City Hall, Cape Town, on Friday, 5th November, 1937, when in my absence the Chair was taken by Brigadier-General Collyer. The delegates were welcomed, and the proceedings formally opened, by His Worship the Mayor of Cape Town, Councillor William e. Foster. . The meeting was a most successful one and practically every Centre of the Association and every District of the Brigade was represented. The delegates were entertained at a luncheon presided over by Mrs. J. E. Conradie, Vice-President of the Cape Town Centre. I desire to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all Officers of Centres and Centre Committees for their capable and praiseworthy efforts in the furtherance of our instructional work. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. His Excellency the Knight Commander, Sir Patrick Duncan, G.C.M.G., K.C., LL.D., K.ST.J., conducted the Brigade Annual Inspections of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions of the Transvaal and S.A.R. & H.

Divisions of the Brigade on the Reef area at Ellis Park, Johannesburg, on 31st October, 1937-one of the largest combined inspections which has been held. His Excellency was accompanied, during the inspection of the Nursing Divisions, by Her Excellency Lady Duncan, D.ST.J., Lady Superintendentin-Chief of the Nursing Divisions within the Commandery. At the conclusion of the inspection, His Excellency formally presented to the Colour Party the Brigade Standard generously donated by MajorGeneral Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., K.ST.J., Chief Commi sioner of the Brigade at Home, to the Transvaal District. The Consecration of the Standard was carried out jointly by the Very Rev. W. A. Palmer, Dean of Johannesburg, and the Rev. B. J. Marais, Dutch Reformed Church. General Duncan had previously handed over this Standard to the Secretary, :Jlr. lex. 1. Anderson, at a large gathering of the Brigade Over eas a embled in the Great Central Hotel, London, during the pecial Cour e of Lectures in Air Raid Precaution held there at the time of the Brigade Jubilee elebrations. General Duncan's special message- which accompanied the Standard - was engraved on Vellum, suitably bound, and presented to His Excellency the Knight Commander, who read it as follows : " In the same way as an Officer's sword represents his honour, the Standard of a Regiment represents its honour, and it is protected and treated as such. In presenting this Standard of the St. John mbulance Brigade to the Transvaal District of the Brigade, I am convinced that all l\1embers of that District will guard and respect this tandard as they would guard and respect their own honour." The proceedings were broadcast to a large assembly, which included His \Vorship the Iayor of Johannesburg, Defence Representatives, and many leading citizens. One of the most notable of our Brigade activities during the year was the large representation which represented the Commandery at the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in London. Until the arrival, from China, of the Chief Commissioner, Colonel J. L. leeman, I acted for him in that capacity. I was accompanied by my Staff Officer, Mr. Alex. M. Anderson (who also acted as Staff Officer to the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade Overseas) and by a contingent numbering 150-by far the largest representation from any section of the Brigade Overseas . Major A. J. Knox, V.D., District Superintendent, e.G.H. District, was in charge of the contingent, and Mrs. E. G. Slade, Lady District Superintendent Transvaal District (who also acted as a Staff Officer to the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief) was in charge of the Nursing Division Members. Her Majesty the Queen, whom we are honoured to have as our Com~andant-in-Chief of the Nursing Divisions, held a review of the Brigade In Hyde Park on 22nd May . Her Majesty, previous to the Review, graciously received and congratulated a number of Brigade representatives who had extended service, and we are all proud of the fact that one of our valued Members,

THE COMMANDERY IN NEW ZEALAND.

The Commandery Report for 1937 has not been received, but individual reports from Centres of the St. John Ambulance Association and from Districts of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in New Zealand indicate that the activities of the Order are being maintained.

REPORT OF THE CHAPTER-GENERAL

THE COMMANDERY IN CANADA.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery :The Commandery was repre ented by over sixty members of the Order or Brigade at the Jubilee Celebrations in London last May on the occasion of the fiftieth anniver ary of the founding of the t. John Ambulance Brigade in 1887. The official representatives of the Commandery were the Lieutenant and the Director of Ambulance who v,' ere privileged to take part in the procession of the Chapter-General into the Chancel at the rvice in t. Paul's Cathedral, and to be pre ent at the Investiture in Buckingham Palace when the following Canadian member of the Order received the In ignia of their rank from Hi 1aje ty, the King, the overeign Head :Knights of Grace. Hon. Eric Werge Hamber. Allan Travers Lewis, Esq., K.C. James Ernest Macpher on, Esq. Frederick Keenan Morrow, Esq. Commander (Brother). Lieut.-Colonel Gerald Lynham Porte Grant- uttie. Officers (Brothers). Lieut.-Colonel George Herbert Gillespie. Torman McLeod Paterson, Esq. Serving Brother.

Harry Albert Canadine, Esq. Serving Sister. Mrs . Leslie H. Boyd (Lillian Maud). At numerous functions during the week of the Celebrations, Canadians were given the opportunity of meeting members of the Order a.nd Brigade from all others parts of the Empire and received fresh inspiration and encouragement in furthering the work of the Order in this country. The annual meeting of the Commandery-Chapter for the year 1937, followed by an Investiture, was held on the 20th April at Government House. Ottawa, when His Excellency, The Lord Tweedsmuir, the KnightCommander, presided. Her Excellency, The Lady Tweedsmuir, was present, wearing the insignia of the Dame of Grace.

GENERAL.

The year 1937 continued to show an increase in the work of the Order in Canada. Although the total figure is not much larger as compared with last

COMMA DERY IN CAN ADA

year it should be pointed out that 2,041 of last year's figures were in one mining company alone, a figure which is not likely to be repeated in anyone year. The increases are more evenly distributed over the Branche and Centres and indicate a sustained interest in almost all parts of the co un try. The Brigade has increa ed in numbers by 15 per cent and there is every indication that the coming year will show a decided advance, with new Divi ions formed and increased enrolment. The Hospitaller and Almoner's Report shows that $453·50 was ub cribed by members and friends of the Order towards the maintenance of the Ophthalmic Hospital of t. John of Jerusalem. Linen Guild under the Commandery in Canada was formed in 1937, of which Her Excellency, The Lady Tweedsmuir, graciously con ented to accept the Presidency, with Lady Perley as Chairman. Plan are being made for raising a quota of the sum necessary for the linen requirements of the Ophthalmic Hospital. T. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION. (1)

SUMMARY OF AWARDS.

During 1937, there has been a slow but steady advance in the number of certificate and award i sued, there being an increase of 112, despite the fact that there was no repetition of the large group of 2,041 men trained at the Hollinger mines. La t year the total increa e was accounted for by seven provincial Branches and pecial Centres, while in 1937 the figures were reversed and only seven showed a decrease while twelve Branches and Special Centres showed increases, typical of more general activity throughout the country. Once more the greatest increase has been in the higher awards indicating continued interest in maintaining efficiency. Thirty-four Instructor's Certificates were issued during this period. (2)

PROVI I CIAL BRANCHES.

The various Provincial Branches are functioning well and in most cases have shown increases over previous years. (3)

SPECIAL CENTRES.

During 1937, the Special Centres did very effective work, the majority showing marked increases over previous years. (4)

TROPHY COMPETITIO

There were 132 teams competing in the finals of the Dominion Competitions for Seniors, I ntermediates, and J uniors, and many more entries were eliminated locally before the visit of the Director of Ambulance. Very keen interest was shown in all parts of the country. Competition for the Wallace Nesbitt R ailway Trophy was held for the first time in several years, and the number and quality of the teams entering was most encouraging.

The Officers of the Commandery are plea ed to report that the Brigade has increased in numbers during the past year and is giving evidence of greater activity. The Jubilee Celebrations in London last May proved the most outstanding event of the year. Thirty-seven officers and members of the Brigade in Canada, led by the Commandery Commissioner, paraded in the march past Her Majesty, the Queen, at the Review in Hyde Park. Two new Ambulance Divisions were formed in London and Winnipeg, two Nursing Divisions in Vancouver and Winnipeg, and, in Edmonton and Saskatoon, Cadet Ambulance Divisions were organized. The Commandery Commissioner visited each province during the year and inspections were held of all Divisions. Drills and demonstrations were carried through with smartness and precision. Opportunities for Public Duty have increased and, whenever called upon, the Brigade has proved equal to the occasion. Special mention should be made of the floods in London, Ontario, when service was rendered by the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions over a period of two weeks. Twenty members of the Montreal Corps are voluntary blood donors of the Montreal Voluntary Transfusion Service. These donors are used in several of the local hospitals for indigent patients. This Corps also maintains First Aid Posts in the Laurentians to look after ski accidents.

Classes at Unemployment Instructional Centres.-The classes at the Unemployment Instructional Centres of the Ministry of Labour) mentioned as proposals in last year's report, were duly organized. During the period under review three were held at Brandon in Norfolk, and the rest at different Instructional Centres. Other Government Classes.- Apart from the very satisfactory standard in First Aid now reached by the Police in England, the high value of the training afforded by the St. J ohn Ambulance Association is shown by the various Government institutions which have organized classes. The instruction of Masters of Casual Wards, which had not materialized when last year's report was written, has now commenced. There have been further prison classes, with their valuable contribution to the moral and mental welfare of the prisoners, while various Government Departments and Ministries are taking advantage of the facilities offered by the Association to learn First Aid. The Army.-First Aid classes in the Army have again been carried out in Alder hot and also in Malta. At the latter place some 800 men have been trained since 1932. It should be noted that this is in addition to the routine classes for the R.A.M.C. It is difficult to exaggerate the value of such knowledge to the officers and men of the Armed Forces. Other Classes.-Certain colleges have organized First Aid classes for their staffs; Cheltenham Ladies' College carried out a course of instruction in Home Nursing and various Girls' Clubs have followed this good example. .The ~ritish Broadcasting Corporation have appreciated the value of FIrst AId and classes have been organized for their Engineers at various transmitting stations of their organization.

The progress made in the instruction of classes in New Zealand Southern Africa and Canada can be seen from the Annual Reports of th~ Directors of AT?bulance in those places, which are printed on pages 29 and 30 of thIS report. The work in Australia has again made great strides as will be seen from the abridged reports from the Centres shown elsewhere in this report. In the Empire of India the work of the Association continues to increase and ~xtracts from the report of this Branch will be found elsewhere of thIS report. Ap~rt from the Dominions, First Aid is going ahead in the smaller colomes. Cl~sses have been held in Singapore, where the course of events has made FIrst Aid a matter of the first importance: 600 of the Police ~re already in possession of certificates and apart from these the Centre IS expandmg and sub-Centres are springing up all over the Federated Malay States. .In Ni~~ria, .although t?e need is not so apparent, the value of First AId trammg m the PolIce ~orce is thoroughly appreciated and every European officer must qualIfy so as to be able to give preliminary

instruction to the African Police under his command as a preparation for more advanced instruction by the medical officers. For Police purposes, Northern and Southern Nigeria and Lagos are now one unit. The native per onnel of the udan Railways have shown the greatest interest in First Aid, and the Senior Medical Inspector and his secondin-command are giving their services free, both for instruction and examination. There being no Arabic translation of the textbook all classes have written up complete notebooks in Arabic, which is a striking illustration of how wide is the appeal of the As ociation's t aching. In Jamaica 20 branches were functioning last y ar. The Police give their personnel extensive instruction and over 200 were in tructed and examined in the year under review. In Cyprus training was initiated by the Police and now the Cyprus Mines Corporation and the Cyprus Anti-Tuberculo i League are de irou of co-operating with the Association. British Honduras is continuing the in truction of the Police and the \\ indward I lands are taking in hand the instruction of the Volunteers, as also of Boy couts and Girl Guides; this training of youth con titute , perhaps, the most valuable type of training. In Fiji a definite eHort is being made to spread the teaching of Fir t Aid; indeed the formation of a Divi ion of the Brigade is not unlikely. The Branch of the Association in den had temporarily lapsed, bu t it is very satisfactory to record that it is being reviv d w1der a strong Committee and that classes in Fir t Aid, Home Nursing, and Hygiene are being formed. Attention should be drawn to the change of status of Burma which, now being separated from India, is organizing a Centre in direct touch with St. John's Gate, separate from the Indian Branch of the Association. In the Gold Coast, where last year instruction in First Aid was started among the Police, the work is spreading to the civilian population. Branches are being formed in the Western Province in order that instruction may be given to the numerous personnel of the gold mines and other industries in that part. The widespread activities recorded above do not exhaust the work of the Association overseas; they are quoted to illustrate the fact that the teaching of the Association, apart from its manifest practical usefulness to public servants, public utility services, and the like, makes an appeal to all races and ages by its own intrinsic value. This fact will not only give great satisfaction to members of the Order and Association, but, in addition, should prove a real inspiration to those entrusted with the conduct of the work. VISITORS.

During the year it was a great pleasure to meet many overseas visitors at St. John's Gate. Among those who were present in London for the Jubilee Celebrations of the Brigade and who were also directly representing the Association were Lieut.-Colonel R. E. Wodehouse, the Lieutenant of the Commandery in Canada, and Colonel A. E. Snell, the Director of Ambulance of the Commandery in Canada; Mr. Alpheus Williams, Director of Ambulance of the Commandery in Southern Africa,

and Mr. A. M. Anderson, the Secretary to the Lieutenant of the Commandcry in Southern Africa; and Lieut.-Colonel A. J. Gatt, the Secretary of lhe MalLa ' n lrc. The many other visitors included: Lieut.-Colonel and Irs. Granl- uttie, Mr. and Mrs. T. Guerin, and Mr. F. T. W. Saundcrs, of anada; Dr. . E. C.

B. picer, late Chief of Police in Palestine; Major aundcr, the head of the Police in Nigeria; Colonel Cluny 1acpherson of Newfoundland; Colonel H. W. Bamford, who is organizing the work of the Association among the civilians of the Gold oa. l; and Dr. J. A. Henderson, Vice-President of the British Guiana n lre. The valuc of such vi its and the resulting personal touch is very great and the Ambulance Department would like to put on record their deep appr ciation of these visits to Headquarters by overseas visitors who, in many cases, have little time to spare. COLO EL SLEEMAN'S TOUR OVERSEAS.

olonel J. L. leeman, a Knight of the Order and Chief Commissioner of the l. John Ambulance Brigade Overseas, sailed from England on the 13lh ovember, 1936, on a tour which included visits to Malta, India, Burma, eylon, ingapore, Hong Kong, Aden, and Gibraltar. He r turned in time for the Brigade Jubilee in 1ay, 1937. The tour proved highly valuable in the stimulus it gave to Association work of tho e places. REVISION OF FIRST AID TEXTBOOK.

A ncw and revised First Aid Textbook is being produced which will be some 40 pages larger than the present (38th) edition. The illustrations will be produccd from photographs. MATTERS OF GE ERAL INTEREST.

Various new features and certain departures from previous procedure have been introduced since last year's report : (1) ~1ixed classes in First Aid have now been sanctioned under special regulations. (2) The certificate of the National Fire Brigades' Association has been accepted as qualifying towards the Medallion of the Association. . (3) By permission of the British Broadcasting Corporation talks on FIrst AId were broadcast immediately before Easter, \Vhitsun, and August Bank Holidays. Instruction in First Aid by television has also been given a trial. FIRST AID COMPETITIONS.

The distribution of prizes was presided over by Colonel J. T. W. Perowne, Hospitaller of the Order, and the Challenge Shield, Corbet Fletcher Cup, and prizes were presented by Mr. R. Holland-Martin, Chairman of the Southern Railway. Among others present were MajorGeneral Sir Percival Wilkinson, Director of the Ambulance Department of the Order, and Lady \Vilkinson, and Sir Ralph Wedgewood, Chief General Manager of the London and North Eastern Railway. Mr. Holland-Martin, in presenting the prizes, said he was grateful for the invitation to be present at the Competition, in which he was greatly interested. A knowledge of First Aid work was most important and should be acquired by men, women, and children in all ranks of life. The perils of the roads were great and it was essential that speedy treatment should be given in the case of accidents. The railways were always interested in First Aid work and they saw in it a way of protecting those who travel by rail. The Ambulance Committee of the Order again offers to Mr. and Mrs. John Maxwell, and Mr. Joseph Grossman, of Associated British Pictures Corporation, Limited, their thanks for their continued kind assistance in staging the Police and Railway Competitions. The effective manner in which this is carried out contributes very much to the success of those events and the Committee is exceedingly grateful to them. STORES DEPARTMENT.

The Stores Department has had a record year. The Coronation, followed by the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations, was doubtless responsible for the increased activity. I VALID TRANSPORT CORPS.

The Invalid Service continues to be popular with Hospitals and Nursing Institutions and its services are in great demand. ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL FIRST AID STATION.

During the year ended 30th September, 1937, 911 cases were treated at this station. After treatment 19 of these were removed to hospital, 6 were sent home in taxi-cabs, and 25 were advised to go to hospital for further .treatme~t .. The remainder were able to proceed with their business or contmue theIr Journey after treatment at the station.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Principal ecretary for Wales. ASSOCIATION DEPARTMENT. The results of the classes held during the year show that 17,323 students attended courses of instruction, of whom 15,837 qualified for awards. The number of successful examinees i 500 les than that for 1936 although the number of students is only 364 below the 1936 figure, the percentage of success for the years 1936 and 1937 being 89·54 and 88 · 53 per cent respectively. With regard to the drop in figures, which breaks a long sequence of annual increases, it is noteworthy that four-fifths of the reduction represents candidates in Home Nursing; and it is not unlikely that the introduction of A.R.P. las es within Brigade Units has had an adverse effect upon Home Nursing. Though the total attendance was dovffi, the 979 classes examined or re-examined during the year was 23 more than during 1936. Great \Vestern Railway Classes in 'Vales were attended by 3,257 students, of whom 2,846 were succes ful, a decrease of 175 and 146 respectively on 1936. On the other hand, the London Midland and Scottish Railway Company classes resulted in 620 awards gained out of a total of 723 students, as compared with 606 and 688 for 1936. CERTIFICA T E S

The production of an up-to-date textbook on the subject of Fir t Aid in Mines has been a pressing need for some time pa t; and the Priory welcomed the task entrusted to it to prepare a draft for submis ion to the St. John Ambulance Association. All parties concerned in the Coal-mining Industry were represented on the Revi ion ommittee appointed for the purpose, which, with Professor George Knox, LI.lIL E., F.G.S., presiding over the technical and Major A. 'V. Anderson, lIL B., CH.B., the Medical Sections, has devoted considerable time and attention to this important work. MOTOR AMBULANCE TRA SPORT SERVICE. The unbroken record of annual increases in the number of ca e removed and mileage travelled by the Priory's ambulances since 1919 was maintained last year when the figures rose by 2,005 cases and 22,705 miles on the 1936 totals to 18,241 and 302,240 respectively for the year. The number of stations remains the same as last year, but the Service is receiving fuller support from all sources as the demand for ambulance transport facilities develops. An aggregate number of 27,000 householders are entitled to the free use of an ambulance for themselves or dependants as members of 71 Colliery Lodges, while 60 other bodies of workmen, embracing 4,700 men, are contributing on a similar basis of one penny per week.

The Priory gratefully acknowledges a further grant of £1,000 for capital expenditure from the Joint Committee for Monmouthshire and outh ';\Tales Miners' Welfare Fund. STORES DEPARTMENT. The ordinary sales of textbooks, stores, and uniform were well maintained, indicating that the free issue of uniform and equipment to the extent of the £5,000 grant from the Special Areas Fund during the previous year had stimulated the purchase of uniform for those not eligible for benefit. Of the 6,937 publications sold, 2,907 were A.R.P. handbooks. The demand for the Welsh translations of the Preliminary textbooks is almost negligible. Advantage was taken of exhibiting First Aid and ambulance requisites at a stand granted free by the South 'Vales Institute of Engineers at the Exhibition held in Cardiff in Novemher.

The following is extracted from the Report of the Commandery :-

It is very gratifying to report another record year of progress which refl cts the utmost credit on all concerned. The attached summary of awards issued by the respective Centres shows that 7,751 awards were issued during the past year- an increase of 518 awards, or 7 ·16 per cent in excess of the previous year's record. Progress has been maintained in the Afrikaans classes, and this in turn has added considerably to the membership of the Brigade. I have to express my great appreciation of the excellent services rendered by our urgeon-Instructors in the various First Aid and Home ur ing classes. The extended instruction called for last year has, in many cases, been considerably extended, and the urgeon-Examiners have invariably remarked on the high standard of knowledge shown at the various examinations. In tructions in ir Raid Precautions has practically been in abeyance awaiting information from the responsible authorities. The whole question will be dealt with by the Commandery at an early date, and instructions on the lines to be adopted will be issued in due course. During the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in London last year, and through the courtesy of our good friends at St. John's Gate, an intensive pecial Course in First Aid in Air Raid Precautions was arranged. pecial mention must be made of the splendid facilities provided by the " Gate JJ, and also to the very able and painstaking manner in which Dr. Bentall and his staff imparted the instructions, which received the grateful appreciation and thanks of all who were privileged to attend the course. At the subsequent examination, 32 South African representatives gained certificates. The eventh Annual Meeting of the Ambulance Committee was held in the Council Chamber, City Hall, Cape Town, on Friday, 5th November, 1937, when in my absence the Chair was taken by Brigadier-General Collyer.

The instruction cla es in the various subj ects reached a higher total than has been attained during the la t twenty year, and altogether 31 classes were organized. The work of the invalid tran port service continues to expand as the valuable facilitie provided become more widely known.

From the above it willbe seen that the total number of members of the Brigade is 84,419. This steady incre~se which s.o far has taken place year by year is a proof that the CommiSSIOners, theIr staffs, a~d all ranks are carrying out their duti~s with energy and success. As I sa~d last year no organization could contmue to exp~nd so regul~rly unless It was both necessary and successful in the work It was carrymg out .

OF THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

I am particularly pleased to see the large in.crease in the number. of Cadet units and members. I attach the greatest Importance to developmg this side of the Brigade. If one can interest the younger members of the community in the movement, a large proportion of them will eventually enter the adult units. With a view to encouraging this idea several proposals have been recently approved by the Brigade SubCommittee. WORK OF THE From the reports I have received from Commissioners I find BRICADE. that the demands on the services of the members continue to increa e; this is particularly so in connection with the Air Raid Precautions cherne which is dealt with later in my Report. During the past year our members dealt with 688,~23 cases of a.ccident or sudden illness which is 74,450 more than the prevIOUS year whIch was a record. These figures are an eloquent proof of the value of the services rendered by the Brigade to the Public. I am satisfied that the members of the Brigade are maintaining their high standard of efficiency in First Aid in spite of the large amount of time which they have spent in studying the subject of Air Raid Precautions which naturally is somewhat outside their normal duties. Attendances at Civil Hospitals, Clinics, and Welfare Centres by members of the Nursing Divisions during the year were 33,507, an increase of 344 compared with 1936. There is an increase in the number of Roadside Huts and First Aid Posts e tablished on the main roads to deal with motor accidents. \Ve have now 216 Roadside Huts and 1,148 First Aid Posts. The outstanding duty undertaken during the year was that on the occasion of the Coronation of Their Maiesties. The total personnel on duty was' 7,500 made up as follows: Surgeons 99, o. 1 District 5,390, Other Districts 1,790; St. Andrew's Ambulance Brigade 21; and members of Women's Detachments of the British Red Cross Society 200. The route of the procession was 6t miles long. The work entailed long hours of duty on our members, many of whom had travelled all night to attend this important ceremony. The organization of the duty was carried out by Captain Vv Goodley, M.C., the Commissioner of No. 1 District; it involved very elaborate staff arrangements as detachments came from all over the Kingdom. My sincere thanks are due to Captain Goodley and his Staff for the admirable manner in which the duty was carried out. The total number of cases treated by members of the Brigade was 9,583, of which 162 were removed to Hospital. I may mention that 10 members of the Brigade were honoured with invitations to attend the ceremony of the Coronation in Westminster Abbey in addition to those who were present on duty. My thanks are due to many business :firms who lent their premises to the Brigade for the purpose of Dressing and Rest Stations. T

In my opinion the steadiness of the units, the turnout, and the marching, was highly creditable to all concerned. The Bands which helped so much to make the occasion a success were all supplied by units of the Brigade. Following the Re iew, the following gracious message was received from Her 1ajesty the Queen : " Please convey to all ranks of the t.

I feel confident that the presence of members of the Brigade at Home and Overseas at the above Jubilee functions has done an immense amount of good in cementing the goodwill between the two bodies and in es~ablishing even further the feeling of comradeship which has always eXIsted. 316 ~lotor Ambulances are operated by Corps and Divisions. The e Ambulances carried 123,359 cases, compared with 112,001 m 1936, the total mileage being 1,411,537 miles. The Road Service is closely allied to that of the Motor Ambulances and continues to be undertaken by members of the Brigade on th~ principal highways during the week-ends of the summer months. The number of road accidents attended was 22,316, the mileage incurred being 189,712. These serY'i~~s entail a con~iderable amount of self-sacrifice on the part of those DIvlsIOns undertakmg them, and the greatest credit reflects ~pon .the officers and members for the prompt and efficient manner In whIch they perform their duties.

COMMISSIONER.

A series of four films have been in circulation dealing very fully with A.R.P. services, and shortly a new film embodying features of the four film series and up-to-date methods will be ready for issue. This new film is another generous gift of :Mrs. Maxwell, and is produced by Mr. Joe Grossman. The annual Competitions for the Dewar and Perrott hields and other trophies took place at the Great Central Hotel, Marylebone, London, J. .\V. 1, on the 9th April, 1937.

These figures represent those who have taken the examination and obtained a certificate, whereas a very much larger number have attended A.R.P. Courses. Our Instructors in addition to training Brigade personnel have been in great demand for training the general public. In this connection many thousands of the public have received instruction whilst 10,318 have passed an examination and recei\'ed a certificate. At the request of the Home Office A.R.P. Department our week-end Courses, primarily commenced to provide Instructors for the Brigade, were opened to the general public, with the re ult that nominee of the Home Office, Colonial Office, County and Borough ouncil, British Red Cross Society, and large public and commercial underiakings have attended these week-end Courses. Up to date to the end of the year, thirteen week-end Cour es have been held, thereby making it possible for over 3,000 member of the Brigade and general public to qualify to it for an examination for Grade 1 Instructor. These Courses have filled a great gap in providing Instructors, and they are so highly reported upon that demands for vacancies for each Course exceed the seating capacity of the accommodation available. I am indebted to my Headquarters Staff and the Lecturers, who have given up their week-ends to make these Courses so exceedingly ucces ful. Dr. Bentall, my A.R.P. Staff Officer at Brigade Headquarters, has made many visits to the provinces, guiding local officers in A.R.P. training, meeting Council authorities and speaking at public meetings, and his work in this connection has been of immense value to Brigade and Councils alike. My reference to A.R.P. work would be incomplete without reference to magnificent services rendered by ir. and Mrs. John 1axwell and Mr. Joe Grossman in the provision of the excellent films, and also the entertainment at the week-ena. courses for those students who come from afar. The films have been shown in 223 towns and without forgetting their huge propaganda value to the Brigade activities, they have been one of the finest recruiting agencies in connection with A.R.P. services.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER.

IR,

I have the honour to ubmit m report for the twelve months ending 31 t December, 1937, being the Jubilee Year of the Brigade. In so doing, I de ire to record my appreciation of the splendid support which I have received from the urgeon-in-Chief of the Priory for ,Vale and from the Di trict and County urgeon throughout England and Ireland and at the same time to thank them all for their interesting annual tatements which form the basis of my o\"n report. A reference to the attached nalysi of the 1\1 dical trength will show that, a the re ult of the continued xpan ion of the Brigade and of effort in variou dir ction., t1~ere ha .been a marked numerical increase in both technical and executIve ectlOn. Further, comparison with my Analysis of the pr viou year prove. that this strengthening of medical per onnel, which repre ents a net mcrea e of 237, ha occurred in every district in England, ,Vale, and Ireland. onsequently, on 31 t December, we had on our roll 2,503 urgeon '. of whom 2,424 were serving in the technical and 79 in the executiye eellOn of the Brigade. MEDICAL

STRENCTH .

It has been my privilege throughout the year to send a letter of ·welcome to each newly appointed Di i ional Surgeon in England and Ireland and in many in tanc to receive a courteous ackno·wledgment which augur well for the future happine and prosperity of the unit to which h (or he) i attached. Also, by means of circular letters which I have ent out when matter of interest or importance aro e, I have kept in do e touch with my District and County urgeons, with many of whom I have thereby established a personal relationship. Throughout the year my colleagu s of all ranks have favo:1red me \:,ith letters (and interviews) in \vhich they have ought my ad\'lce on vanou matters connected with our work; and I have be n able to give each and all the required a sistance or information. In this connection, I note with pleasure that more and more urgeon are now u ing Brigade stationery in their correspondence. HEADQU.a.RTER METHODS.

Early in December, 193G, accepting the invitation of the B.B.C., you deputed to the Brigade ecr tary and myself TIOHS the task of arranging a series of television demonstration illustrative of First Aid and of Brigade work. l\Iajor Darvil- mith procured the necessary Ambulance and Nursing personnel, chiefly from 0.1 (Prince of Wales's) District while I planned the various items of the eries. These were given from the studio at Alexander Park in th afternoon and evening sessions on 8th January (Accidents in the Home), on 22nd January (Accidents on the Roads), on 5th February (Accidents in port), and on 19th February (Accidents in Factories and Work hops). On the several occasions the Assistant Surgeon-in-Chief, Assistant Commissioner Dr. A. C. White-Knox, or I appeared on the air as the commentator for the day. TELEVISlo-H

L'RGEON-I~-CHIEF.

In every instance the results were excellent; ':lnd the success of the series of demonstrations stands wholly to the credIt of our members who actually treated the supposed pati~nts in novel and so~ewhat trying circum tances and who thereby dId honour to the Bngade and to themselves. Consequent on the Jubilee Celebrations, Brigade Finals were held at an earlier date than u ual and took place on 9th April at the ,Vharndiff Rooms, Ylarylebone. The County urgeo~s reported to me that, while the entries w~re up to t~e .average, and :",'.1ule the efficiency of the teams taking part 111 the Prehmmary CompetItIons was worthy of all praise, some difficulties were, here and there, experienced in securing judges on account of the advanced dates of the contests falling within the period during which professional duties were still pressing. For the Dev;ar Competition the team test was an accident in a warehouse and for the Perrott a gas explosion in a billiard saloon. All the te ts, team and individual, \\'ere es entially practical and typical of emergencies which the comp titors might have to face in actual circumstances. The Empire Competitions were held at the same place on 21st May, and represented the second occasion on which teams from home and oyersea engaged in friendly contest, the previous occasion being in 1931 during the entenary Celebrations of the Order. The task of judging wa entru ted entirely to the Brigade at Home; and I was disappointed in my effort to ecure the services of urgeons from Brigade Over ea. The stretcher test for the Ambulance teams was an accid nt during the building of a house and for the Kursing teams a primu stove explosion during a camping holiday. Here, again, all the tests were based on possible and everyday emergencie. ; and it was pleasing to note that there wa little to choose bet\\'ecn the competing team and that the Overseas teams held their own with their colleague at Home in their handling and treatment of the uppo ed patient. ouvenir medallions were presented to each member of the competing teams, to the judges and to the Competition ecretary, ~Ir. H. J. \Vriggle worth. For the realistic taging of the tests in the Brigade and Empire Competition we were once again indebted to the A sociated British Picture Corporation, Ltd., and more particularly to lVIessrs. Clarence Elder and Joseph Gro man, who vi d with each other in their efforts on our behalf. BRICADE

COMPETITIONS.

At the Royal Review on 22nd lay there took place two events which are worthy of record. First, H.~f. Queen Elizabeth, to whom I had the honour of being presented as the repreentative of the urgeons, expres ed her admiration as to the manner in which the Brigade carried out its duties and commented favourably on the increased work which it was undertaking, e pecially during the Coronation and its celebrations. Furthermore, when I replied that the Brigade and its Surgeons were proud to do their duty, Her Majesty was graciously pleased to remark:ROYAL

AMBULANCE BRIGADE.

These words of high commendation will erve to encourage and at the arne time to stimulate all rank to further efforts in carrying out their duties and obligations. econdly, the acceptance by urgeons of your invitation to be inspected at the Royal R eview wer 0 numerou that, two day before the event, you a ked me to decide for or again t their taking part in the general parade and march-pa t. \Yithout any he itation I accepted this further invitation on behalf of my colleague. Con equ ntly, for the first time in the hi tory of the Brigade, a Company of urgeon 118 trong and including even ladie -had the honour of leading the Brigade At Home in it march-pa t Her Iaje ty the Queen, and afterwards received cordial congratulation from the many drill expert who watched the Company carrying out thi movement. The succe la t year of the Fir t onference of Di trict and County urgeon \Vas such that thi year I felt ju ~t ified in a king your permi sion to attempt a more ambition "enture. .\fter due preparation, therefore, we held a \Yeek-end Conference, 1 'th and 17th October, on the aturday at t. John' Gate, and next day at the \ Yharncliff Room . This consi ted of a erie of lectures and demon traiion gi,'en by member of Headquarter taff 011 matters of intere t to urgeon , and attracted 125 urgeons of all rank in the technical and executive sections of the Brigade, and from all part of England, \\Talc., and Ireland. Amid t all our discu ion there wa a commendable pirit of comrade hip; and the Conference, as I reported aftenvarcl to 'OU, wa a complete ucce from all point of view. Indeed, there \Va ' a unanimouo.., request that I should arrange a furth r \Veek-end Conference next year. On the Saturday evening we held the First Brigade uraeon' Dinner, at which we entertained our lay colleague in the executive :,ection. "Cnfortunately, you were not able to be pre ent at tIl onf r nce or the Dinner but your place was admirably filled by olonelJ. L. Ie man, C.B., the Chief Commi ioner of Bricrade Over ea , who welcomed th members to the Conference, and also replied to the toa t of " The Order " a t the Dinner. At the close of the General Conference I met the Di ,trict and ountv urgeons in our econd Annual onference, and at their r que t late-r submitted to you certain resolution. Th e in due cour'e were placed by you before the Brigade ub- ommittee which, thi year a la t, approved all our sugge tions. The success of the \Veek-end Conference was the outcome of good team "vork towards which the Brigade ecretary and hi A si tant contributed their full hare and so earned my gratitude. In the main, however, it was brought about by the strenuou labour of my ecretary, District Officer E. T. Milburn, who undertook the full burden and re ponsibility of organizing the Conference and Dinner. Perhap ~ the most pleasing feature of this innovation was the number of letter which I afterwards received from Surgeons expressing their appreciation of the efforts made by Headquarters Staff for their in truction and en tertainmen t. The Surgeon-in-Chief of the Priory reports that this year he convened the First Conference of urgeon held in \Vales, and that the

representative attendance at the . me~ting on ,unday, .26th September, in the City Hall, Cardiff, fully ]u.stIfied the mnov.atlOn. . Further, a unanimous opinion was express~d m favour of makl.ng thIS Conference also an annual gathering, whlCh, from my expenence of our 1936 Conference, I feel will help in impressing upon all urgeons throughout the Brigade the importance of their honorary obligations. In connection with the Week-end Conference I am happy to tell you that many of the Surgeons-in-Charge returned to their Districts, Countie , and Areas and summoned local conferences of Corps and Divisional urgeons to whom they reported the discussions and decisions of the \Veek-end Conference. The result, therefore, has been that local conferences were much more numerous than in previous years and that they provided opportunities for the urgeons to n:eet ~ogether a~d to become better acquainted. Indeed, I hope that the time IS not far dl tant when in every Di trict, County, and Area the urgeons will foregather at lea t once a year. From the report of the County urgeons it is clear that the instruction of Divi ions in First Aid and ursing has been carried on sati factorily during the year. For this I am grateful to our Divisional urgeons to whom the Brigade owes an unforgettable debt. Further, permission to hold mixed classes, which was one of the re olutions of our 1936 Conference has proven of inestimable value, e pecially in ounty area and has re ulted in the holding of classe which otherwi e would not have matured. In thi connection, I would urge that members of Ambulance Division should be encouraged not only to take the ur ing Certificate of th e s ociation but also to submit to annual re-examinations in thi subject. During the year the Assi tant urgeon-in-Chief, in his visits relative to A.R.P. work throughout the Brigade, has been in touch with a large number of our County, Corp, and Divi ional urgeons. He reports that many of these are taking active parts either a County A.R.P. OfficeL for the Brigade or in the organization of A.R.P. lectures for the Brigade and for the general public; and that he has been greatly impressed by the work which is being done in the centres vi ited by him by the urgeon in England, \\ ales, and Ireland. INSTRUCTION OF

DIVISIONS .

From the report of the County urgeons there is al 0 evidence that fewer re-examinations of Divisions are DIVISIONS. being conducted by the Surgeons attached to the unit concerned and that the ounty urgeons throughout the Brigade are realizing more and more their responsibilitie in this matter. In many Counties to-day the Commissioners allocate the organization of the re-examinations to their County Surgeon, thi being their peculiar duty as laid down in R egulation, and expect them personally to conduct as many of these as pos ible. Consequently, in some cases thi year the County Surgeon has himself done all the re-examinations.

BRICADE CAMP.

As i tance was given by 56 members at 60 Girl Guid camp. The di crepancy in these figure i accounted for by the fact that in orne cases the arne member attended everal camp_. In addition one member attended a camp run by the Girl' Life Brigade. Again I was asked to supply help each week-end during the umm r months for the permanent Girl Guide camping ground at higwell Row. This duty wa undertaken as before by the officer and member of th West Ham :T ur ing Divi ion, No.1 Di trict, two of whom attended ev ry Saturday and unday from 29th May to 26th eptember. A large number of cases was treated. For the boys camp at Ingham Old Hall, orwich, help was al 0 upplied from 28th June to 28th August. The duty was carried out by three members who came from ottingham, Peterborough, and Tunbridge Wells respectively. At the request of the y.W.C.A. a special duty wa undertaken this year amongst the London Strawberry Pickers at urfieet. The camp wa visited daily by a member of the palding ursing Divi ion and good work was done. I have received many letters of appreciation of and gratitude for the assistance given at these camps by the members of the Brigade.

The following letter of appreciation has been received from the Mat ron

of the Prince of Wales Hospital, Lockyer Street, Plymouth, for the help gIven :Thank you for making such excellent arrangements on Wednesday last. Your nurses worked admirably. Please convey to them the very best thanks and Seasons Greetings of my nurses and myself." The Matron of the Horton General Hospital, Banbury, writes :It is with very great pleasure that I send you the report on the work of the Ambulance Nurses for 1937. These nurses have been of the very greatest help to us at various times throughout the year. The alteration of the hours of duties has I trust made the work of more interest to the nurses, it has proved of great assistance to the staff who are very pleased at all times to welcome the Ambulance Nurses and to show them as far as is possible work which will be of use to them. I should like to add my personal appreciation of their help and also of the unfailing interest and courtesy which they exhibit at all times . If there is any additional way in which the members of your Nursing Division want experience I shall be pleased at all times to assist them where possible." It must be remembered that each hospital attendance represents several hours of duty. II

In many Divisions members regularly attend Welfare Centres, Dispensaries, Medical Comforts Depots and CENTRES, ETC. Clinics. The number of such attendances is well maintained. Many members during the year have taken their V.A.D . training at Military and Naval Hospitals. Duty in connection with ambulance transport, road huts, beach huts, continues to be regularly undertaken, and demands on the nursing personnel of the Brigade for public duties are at all times efficiently and adequately met. I should like to mention the time given by the members of some Nursing Divisions to nursing in their own homes sick persons who would not otherwise be able to obtain trained attention. Members of the windon Nursing Division have given 1,147 hours to this work. WELFARE

I cannot close my report without expressing my gratitude to my Lady District and County Superintendents and Officers, and all other Officers and Members for their loyal co-operation at all times. I beg to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, ETHEL PERROTT, Lady Superintendent-in-Chief.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS. FROM THE LADY DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT, Miss A. M. Walker. " For the third year in succession, events of national and imperial importance, in which every member was anxious to take part, dominated the Brigade work for many months, and, coupled with the celebrations of the Brigade Jubilee, made the year one of outstanding and absorbing interest to all. " The extensive nature of many of the duties provided unusual opportunities of seeing large contingents of Officers and Members of the various Nursing Divisions successfully engaged in the performance of the pu blic service for which they had been carefully trained. In addition, it was again my privilege and pleasure to visit some of the Nursing Divisions in each area in connection with the ordinary activities, such as competitions, inspections, and special examinations, etc. In every case there was evidence of an excellent spirit of comradeship and of enthusiasm for the Brigade. In several instances there were candidates in training for the formation of a new section or division and some of these are now in process of registration. " During the greater part of the year I was accompanied in most of my visits and duties by Mrs. Maund, Lady District Superintendent of New South V,'ales, who took a lively interest in every detail of the work' at home' and was a most appreciative and entertaining companion." FROM NORTHER~ AREA. Capt. W. A. Rees, Assistant Commissioner. ., The year has been one of activity and progress. The chief activity was, of course the Coronation Duty, in the performance of which all ranks of both Ambulance and ursing Divisions acquitted themselves excellently in spite of many and great difficulties. " Progress has been made in the increase in numbers but, of much greater importance, in general smartness, attendance at drills, and the carrying out of duties. " A.RP. work goes steadily ahead. " During the past year all Divisions have held classes for A.R.P. instruction either for members of the Brigade or the general public, or both. " During the year all Ambulance and rursing Divisions have been inspected. The high standard of smartness and keenness, noted in past years, has been more than maintained. " In October I had the honour of opening, in your name, and on your behalf, a First Aid Road Hut on the Barnet By-pass. This hut has been erected by the joint efforts of the Barnet Division and the Barnet Rover Scouts. A happy joining of forces of two movements which I trust may be extended to other Divisions. The Cadet Divisions continue to do excellent work, under their able officers. They are proving a most valuable means of supply of well trained recruits to the parent divisions.' , FROM EASTERN AREA. Capt. F. E. Bendix, Assistant Commissioner. " Another busy year has been negotiated 'with great credit to all Officers and Iembers of the Area. The loyalty and efficiency which they have exhibited on all occasions have ensured the smooth and satisfactory organization and conduct of the many important duties and obligations with which they have been entrusted. " A large number of the Divisions have been visited by the Area Staff Officers and, generally, the standard of First Aid work is very well maintained, whilst there is a d efinite improvement in discipline and drill. The marked increase in the number of recruits joining Units in the Area gives some indication of the growing popularity of the Brigade, and it is gratifying to find that these new members are very keen and enthusiastic workers. " Great strides have been made in the work of A.R.P. and sufficient trained personnel, including Instru ctors, is available in most of the Municipal Areas." FROM SOUTHERN AREA . Capt. A. C. White Knox, M.C., Assistant Commissioner. " Activity in the Area is well maintained and during the year I have, with my Area Officers, visited practically all Divisions and been impressed with their keen interest in the movement. " First Aid work has suffered somewhat from the time devoted to A.R.P. work but now that members are mostly instructed in this work, I hope that First Aid will again be taken up energetically."

AIR RAID PRECAUTIO:-iS. District Staff Officer C. E. Bower, O.B.E. " Close relationship has been maintained with the Home Office A.R.P. Dept. in the matter of practical trials and in connection with First Aid Post tests, some 150 personnel were supplied upon two occasions, and the behaviour of Auxiliary I~eservlsts under practical working conditions was most satisfactory. .. Consultation with A.R.P. Officers appointed by Authorities within the District has progressed, and assIstance given with the preparation of Casualty Service schemes. Instructors have been engaged upon classes conducted under Local Schemes and attendance at Public Exhibitions have mcreased. " There are 19 First Class Civilian Anti Gas School, Falfield, Instructors, 1 Second Class, and 195 with Grade 1 and 203 with Grade 2 Certificates in this District. One hundred and sixty-six Courses were registered during 1937 and the number of students examined totalled 4,020. " ProgressIve development has been recorded in hospital and business house classes, a very keen interest being shown." CADETS. District Officer T . E. \Valsby. " Strength at 31st December, 1937: Ambulance Cadets, 704; Nursing Cadets, 30-+. Eleven Cadet Teams entered for the District Competitions in 1937. " Both sections are provmg themselves very keen and efficient in their work and of very good discipline ." YOLUNTARY AID DETACHMENTS. Lady District Officer, Robinia, Viscountess Iountgarret. " lIIiddlesex.-Five 'women members took their Service Hospital training during 1937 and two Nursing Orderlies. The total number of V.A.D. officers and members belonging to St. John in the county is 325, out of which 9 are doctors or trained nurses. There are 35 mobile members only, one of which is a specialist. The number of detachments regIstered for the Order at the end of the year was 12, and all of these received good reports from the Inspecting Officers and the continuance of official recognition. " St~ess was l~id on the importance of anti-gas training and also on more knowledge of nurslOg, particularly for the women and the urgent need for more mobile members . The.r e was again a request from the Territorial Army for members to staff a hospital dunng the Territorial Training in camp, but as no St. John members were able to go the B.R.C. Society undertook the duty. It will be an annual event and it is to be hoped that the St. John Units in the county \\"ill do their best occasionally to volunteer as the experience is a valuable piece of training. District Officer F. Claridge has now been appointed Assistant C.C. for the men's detachments, so we may look forwar.d to an. increase in that direction. This " 'as due to a request from the V.A.D. CounCIl that lO each county there should be separate Assistant Controllers for the men and women detachments for each of the bodies."

I am pleased to report that several of the Civic Corporations are giving encouragement and help to Corps and Divisions, and that our relations \\ith the 'Police Authorities are of the most cordial nature . One 'would again pay a tribute to the Press for all the support given during the year. I wish to express my personal debt of gratitud.e to the .\ssistnnt om mISSIoners, and to Officers, County Corps, and of Divisions, and to every member of the County Brigade for their whole-hearted help and support throughout the year. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedIent servant, A. TE. NYSON ;lllTH, County ommlssioner.

The number of Divisions has increased by three. The Thame Division was transferred from Buckinghamshire and new Cadet Divisions have been formed at Banbury and Watlington. The strength of the divisions shows a satisfactory increase of 70 . The ambulances have dealt with 1,939 patients showing a mileage of 33,342 miles. Thi s is an increase of 764 patients in the year and shows that the ambulance service in the County is useful and appreciated. It is also gratifying to know that this increase in work was met by a ready response from all Divisions. It was not possible this year to hold a combined Annual Inspection for the County, but each Division was personally inspected by me with the help of my County Officer. I was satisfied that all Divisions were efficient and that the keenness was well maintained. To each Division I appealed for Cadets and I am pleased to report that as a result two new Cadet Divisions were formed and two more should shortly be applying for official registration . The number of duties that the men and nurses have been called upon to perform have increased very considerably. Cinemas, theatres, and all public functions have been attended regularly. I am pleased to report that our members were able to render assistance to 2,516 cases. The.l ~ursing Divisions have increased in strength and their work continues to be most useful. They have recorded 227 attendances at the hospitals and the Banbury Division have sent nurses on 268 journeys in the ambulance. During the year the Banbury Division was left a legacy of £732 and negotiations are proceeding for the purchase of their headquarters for approximately this sum. This has been made possible through the generosity of their President, Colonel Norris, who allowing the purchase of his property at this figure is indirectly making a donation of £500 1.0 the Banbury Divisions. The County were proud to be in a position to send men and nurses to the Coronation and the Jubilee celebrations of our Order. It was only with difficulty that the members were selected from the large number of volunteers. The progress of 1\ .R.P. work in the County, which was slow owing to the apathy of local councils, is now beginning to advance more rapidly. ),Iembers of the Brigade have continued to be instructed and many have gained their A.R.P. certificates. A week-end. course \vas held in Oxford and largely as a result of this course we now have 2 Grade I lecturers . The public are being instructed in \Yitney and \Vatlington. I must here refer to the really splendid work done by Ambulance Officer F. K. Rogers and Divisional Superintendent H . E. HO\,yard who have been instrumental in instructing many districts in the right way to start this work. Throughout the County our relations with the Police and other public bodies are most friendly and helpful. I should like to convey my thanks to my County Officers for their whole-hearted support throughout the year. I should also like to pay a tribute to the Press ,,-ho have on all occasions been most helpful in furthering the interest of our work. In ~losmg my report I must refer to the death of my \\-ife, our Lady County Supe~1l1tendent. I have received kind messages of sympathy from all Divisions as~unng me that the support that she gave to our work in Oxfordshire will be greatly mIssed.

24th January , 193 THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER, LONDON.

SIR,

I beg to present my Report for the year ended 31 t December, 1937. I am pleased to say that the Divisions in my County are in a satisfactory state and I have inspected them all personally. Thanks to the eiIorts of Lady District Officer Mrs. Battye, a Tursing Division has been started at alisbury and it appear likely that they will develop into a very efficient unit. They were honoured in thIS their first year by being inspected by the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, who was very satisfied with all she saw. I am also pleased to state that Lady Janet Bailey, of Lake House, Salisbury, has kindly consented to become County President, and I am sure her interest and influence will be a great help to us. At the opening of the new wing of the Salisbury Infirmary by the Duchess of Gloucester, the Salisbury Division 'were honoured by being asked to form a Guard of Honour and the Officer in charge was presented to the Duchess. The County Preliminary Competition was held at Salisbury on 6th March and Swindon were again successful. They represented Wiltshire at the "0. 2 District Competition at Cheltenham on 20th March. We sent our full quota to the Brigade Review in Hyde Park on 27th May and those lucky enough to go were loud in their praise of the perfect arrangements and I feel sure that the chance of seeing what a vast organization they belong to will stim ulate their interest in the work of the Brigade. The Swindon Ambulance and Nursing Divisions have again done much valuable home nursing work in the houses of the poor to the complete satisfaction of the

DISTRI CT.

doctors concerned and the Medical Comforts Depot continues to serve a most usefu l purpose and is much patronized. The Swindon Nursing Division have purchased a very fine life-size doll on which they can practise every phase of sick nursing and this will be a great help in enabling them to keep up their efficiency. Air Raid Precautions is becoming more known and I have had many requests from village councils for addresses on the subject. In view of the very scattered nature of my County these have entailed a great deal of travelling on my part and I have had some exciting adventures with fog and snow. My own firm have taken up the matter and asked me to arrange for a class of instruction for the essential personnel of the factory. I am pleased to say that the entire class of nearly 60 sat for the examination and every one of them was successful. One of my Superintendents was able to take a course at Falfield and has obtained his cer:tificate. I still continue to sit on the Executive Committee of the Wilts County CouncIl formed to prepare a scheme for the County, and the scheme is gradually taking shape. Supt. Bretsch, of Lhe Swindon Division, who has been a tower of strength all through, has been rewarded by admission to the Order in the grade of Serving Brother, and four long-service medals have been awarded to the Division. In conclusion, I am glad to say that interest in the work is becoming more apparent and I have every hope of being able to increase the number of my Divisions. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, A. R.

SIR, I have the honour to submit my annual report for the Counties of Northampton and Huntingdon for the year ended 31st December, 1937. The total strength of the 70 Divisions and 5 Sections, compnsing the Korthamptonshire Unit (Ambulance, :::\ursing, and Cadet), IS w<:ll maintained, totalling 1,619. The recorded cases attended during the year by the .A mbulance Divisions were 3,557, and 2,316 by the .I. "ursing DI\ isions, but I have reason to believe all Di"isions do not make a complete :ecord; 997 members passed their re-examination, and I should appreciate increased mtere t In the \\ ork by DinSlOnal ' urgeons. The Bngade has been honoured during the year by the election of County Officer W. H .

Schemes of the areas under their control. Twelve of our members have passed through the Anti-Gas Schools of the Home Office and are now doing valiant work in the District.

I have the honour to submit my Report on the condition and working of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, Birmingham County, for the year ended 31st December, 1937 . The Brigade organization in this County is divided into three Corps of St. John mbulance Brigade, and one Nul' ing Corps, the whole being co-ordinated under a County Staff.

The total strength of the Birmingham County is 1,948, an increase on last year of 38. During the year I have personally inspected the three Corps and the ursing Corps, and I am pleased to report that a general improvement in the efficiency and smartness of each Corps was noticea ble. For the Jubilee Review at Hyde Park, and the Church Parade at St. Paul's Cathedral, the Brigade and ursing Corps provided its full quota. I inspected these detachments before they left for London, and I was satisfied that, from the point of view of turn-out, smartness, and efficiency, they worthily upheld the traditions of the Brigade. The Brigade and Nursing Corps also did much useful work in Birmingham during the Coronation period, when they provided and staffed a number of First Aid Posts. The Brigade and Nursing Corps still co-operate with the Birmingham Hospitals Contributory Association, by providing urses, Drivers, and Orderlies, to supplement the permanent staff in running the Association's Ambulance Service. This Service carries some 22,000 patients annually, and has a yearly mileage of about 250,000. The Association possesses 15 Ambulances. Duties.-All duties have been satisfactorily carried out by the Brigade during the year. 31,565 cases were attended by the Brigade, and 66,802 by the ursing Corps. Motor A,t1zbulance Dttties .-1 ,326 cases were removed. Medical Comforts Depot.-This department is still proving of very great assistance. Air Raid Precautions.-This work, und er the supervision of County Officer "\V . E. Ballard, is making excellent headway, 305 members having obtained Certificates. The Brigade in Birmingham is also undertaking a considerable amount of work for the Local Authorities, in the way of staffing decontamination centres and providing lecturers for the general public. Hospital and Clinic Attendances.- These are mostly undertaken by the ~ ursing Corps, and numbered 2,579, a decrease on last year's figure of some 39-*. Annual Inspection . -Dr. N. Corbet Fletcher, M.A., M.B., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., the Surgeon-in-Chief, inspected the Brigade on the Sports Ground of the University, lent for the occasion by kind permission of the Senate, on the 11th July. Lady District Superintendent l\Iiss A. 1\1. vValker inspected the ursing Corps on behalf of the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief on the same day. There was an attendance of 828 men and 318 ursing members, and 56 Boy Cadets and 11 Girl Cadets. The Brigade and Nursing Corps presented a fine appearance, as also did the Motor Ambulances. Flag Day.-This was held on the 26th June. The total amount collected was £1,0 11 3s. 8d. This amount constitutes a record over any previous Flag Day held by the Birmingham County. Annual Church Parade.-This took place, by kind permission of the Rev. Canon T . Guy Rogers, M.C., B.D., Rector of Birmingham, at the Parish Church of St. Martin, on Sunday, 29th September. There were 649 of all ranks in attendance at this

Forster Sinclair, M.B., the County Surgeon, reports that during the year the standard of efficiency in First Aid and Nursing has been extremely well maintained. Thanks.-In conclusion, I would like to record my appreciation of the excellent manner in which the secretarial and financial matters of the Brigade have been carried out, and also to express to my County Staff, and all Officers and members of the Brigade and Nursing Corps my sincere thanks for the very able and loyal support given to me during the past year.

I have forwarded under separate cover the returns for the year ended 31st December, 1937, as per lists attached thereto. This year each Unit was again inspected at its o""n Headquarters. A review was held at Hazel Grove in July which was well attended and much appreciated by both Ambulance and Nursing Divisions. After a March Past they \vere addressed by the Chairman and members of the Hazel Grove and Bramhall Urban District Council, who commented on their smart appearance and congratulated them on the good work they are doing for the community throughout the County. After tea the evening was spent in various games and dancing which was kept up until dusk when everyone went home after a good afternoon's enjoyment. New Ambulance Divisions have been formed at Helsby B.LC., Lymm, and Wallasey, and a new Nursing Division at Wallasey. There are other Units in the progress of formation. All Units have worked hard in teaching the general public First Aid work with a view to them obtaining First Aid Certificates prior to becoming Air Wardens.

From the comments received from members of the general public and the Press it is evident that there is an increasing appreciation of the services given by thc Brigade, and this is a source of satisfaction to my staff and myself, who arc in a position to estimate the hard work and many sacnfices gIven by those of onr members who undertake this most important sic1e of our work. PLtblic Duties.-The variety and extent of these increase year by year, and it is a matter of thankfulness and gratitude that such a large proportion of our Brigade men and women respond so cheerfully and enthusiasticallv to thp. demands made upon them.

Records alone do not give any real insight into the vast amount of quiet, unobtrusive assistance which is given to the public, who look to the wearers of Brigade uniform for help and aid in m a ny difficulties, other than those arising from accident or illness. Amongst the principal events of the year may be mentioned ; Coronation Celebrations.-In connection with the Coronation of Their 1ajesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth there were festivities and celebrations throughout Lancashire, and the various Corps and Divisions were called upon to provide per onnel for public duty in practically every town and village in the county. Coronation Duty in London.-This District provided a contingent for duty on 12th :'IIay, Coronation Day, under the charge of Corps Superintendent VV. E. Naylor (l\Ianchester and Salford Corps). TVhitsuntide Processions.-The usual large processions took place in Manchester, Vreston, and Bolton, and very creditable work was performed by the members of these Corps in connection with these functions, which always attract large numbers of spectators. Royal Lancashire Agvicultu1'al Society's Show.-This Annual Event was held this year at :'Ifanchester from 29th July to 2nd August, inclusive, and the duty in connection was taken by the members of the units of Manchester and Salford Corps, who provided a night and day First Aid service. Over 200 cases were treated, and the injuries included incised, contused and lacerated wounds, insect bites, internal h<emorrhage, blistered feet, sprains, collapse, horse and dog bites, scalds, abscesses, skull fractures, minor illnesses. Thi orps maintains a permanent First Aid station in the Belle Vue Gardens, a popular amusement resort, where there are frequently assemblages of 80,000 to 90,000 p ople. An extract from a Duty Report of one of the Divisions taking duty will serve to exemplify the service rendered . Time on duty 2.15 p.m.; Time off duty 1.30 a.m.; Total number of cases 47. Hemoval; two uffering from-(l) broken glass in left eye; (2) severe juries to head. Fractured left patella . Colles fracture left wrist. I mention the e duties as typical e-xamples of the work which is being carried out by Corps and Divisions of thi District. Cadet Camp.-A very successful Camp of Instruction for Boy Cadets was or~anized by the Officers of the Ardwick Divisions, and held at St. Annes-on-theSea from 2-1lh to 31st July, when some 94 members attended. From the reports of the senior Officers who visited the Camp, I am satisfied that it was run on excellent lines, and that it provided an instructive and enjoyable holiday for the adets attending. "Vurslllg Camp at Rossall chool.-The Annual Tursing Camp was held at Rossall chool during the first week in August, the Camp Commandant being Lady District upcrintendent Mrs. E. Tweedale, C.B.E.

The total strength including the County Staff of four is -145; tIllS is a decrea e on the previous year of 26 and is made up as fo110'\\"s :-From the tan 1 ; Jll \'"estmorland from Nursing Divisions 1, and from adets (l~UrSJllg) 3; Jll umberland from Ambulance Divisions 16, and from Cadets (Nursing) 11; increases III the Cumberland Nursing Divisions by 4, and in the adet (Ambulance) by 2. The Ambulance and the Cadet (Nursing) Divisions at Egremont have been disbanded following that of the Nursing Divi ion in the previous year. Taking the personnel of these two Divisions into consideration, the actual loss in the other Divisions is practically negligible. This speaks volumes for the courage with which so many trymg conditions have been met, for there is still much unemployment in vVest Cumberland and in consequence men have been drafted to other areas in order to meet employment needs, and amongst such have been found many Ambulance men. The Superintendents in this area are to be highly commended for the way in which they have struggled against such adverse circumstances. TO new Divisions have been established. For the second year in succession the Counties have lost members of the Stall ; this year Lieut.-Col. N. Maclaren, T.D., F.R.C.S., the Assistant County Commissioner, has passed on. He was a keen supporter of the work and was the origmaJ founder of the Carlisle Divisions in whom he naturally took the greatest interest. Though he was far from well at the beginning of the year, he insisted on going out to examine an A.R.P. Class and really never recovered from this, though he lingered on for six months. He was a prominent Surgeon on the Staff of the Cumberland Infirmary and his influence locally was a great asset to the Order. T he call upon the Divisions continues to increase, 2,166 cases were attended to and the transport entailed a mileage of 13,158. One Division gave 126 attendances to l\Iunicipal Clinics . The three Cu mberland Divisions of Arlecdon and Frizington, Cleator Moor, and Whitehaven supply 37 men to the M.H.R., whilst the two ursing Divisions at Cockermouth and Kendal furnish 1 mobile and 32 members to V.A.D.s. A.R.P. work p r ogresses steadily and there are now 16 Grade I and 4 Grade II Instructors available; 149 members have taken their certificates this year and 100 of the public have received instruction and passed their examinations. In the Counties Comp etition the" Collinson" Bowl was won by the Kendal Nursing Division and

Leeds Tattoo had a large number of our people each night for a week and during the Royal visit four of our Corps had members on duty on the route. Leeds Corps was very highly commended both by the Military Authorities and the Civil Authorities for the excellent work done during the Military Tattoo. Public duties continue to be well carried out and during the year, 41,354 cases were reported, an increase of 6,778 upon last year. The Motor Ambulances continue to do very valuable work. For instance, the two O\,:,ned by Bradford Corps conveyed 2,938 cases and in doing this covered 37,027 mIles. A.R.P. work goes forward and the Area has 819 Certificates. The municipalities are developing their Civilian A.R.P., Leeds have obtained 1,300 volunteers and we have arranged four courses of lectures for these people instructed by Brigade Grade I Instructors.

H~re there are 19 Grade I, 46 Grade II, 19 nank and File, and 27 General Public CertIficate holders. In October the Territorial Association invited our assistance in a :'IIock Air Raid, when our members turned out in full protective clothing. Over 20,000 people watched the demonstration. A ursing Division has been registered at Birkenshaw and another is in course of formation to be attached to the Huddersfield Corps . .StC!!f.-Sir:ce my last report I have lost by resignation or death 1\ssistnnt ommISSlOner GIbson, Assistant Commissioner Col. Fisher, and Assistant ommisslOner Capt. Buxton, and their places have been taken by the promotion of Dislrict Officers Capt. P. Muschamp, J.P., and Dr. Lavin. and by Dr. Beverley. In concluslOn I bave pleas.u:e in reporting. that r"o. 5 District is, in my opinion, in a most satisfac.1.ory condItIon. Prog~ess ?s. excell~nt, and my thanks are given to all ranks, espeCIally my Staff, for mamtammg a hIgh standard of efficiency. I am, Sir, Your obedient servant, S. \Y. MALKIN, Commissioner, Knight of the Order of St. John. ANLEY, SETTLE, YORKSHIRE.

31 st Deccmbe1', 1937. THE COMMISSIONER, NO.5 DISTRICT. SIR,

I have the honour to submit my report for the year 1937. Th.ere are 139 ursing i?- .r. o. 5 Dis~rict, an increase of 6 since my last report, and 26 Cadet Nursmg DivIslOns, an mcrease of 2. During the year I attended the following inspections :-Leeds Corps, Bradford Corps, Dewsbury Corps, N0tt!-ngham..County, Sheffield Corps, Cleethorpes, and Chesterfield, where a new Nursmg DlvislOn has been formed since the Inspection. The following list of Hospital Duties have been performed by our members : West Riding of Yorkshire.-Northern Area, 2,006 hours, or 401 attendances Southern Area 943 South-West Area 193 Midland Area 1,277 Derby 136 Nottingbam 314 Divi~ions

DISTRICT.

In several cases Hospitals asked and obtained the help of our members for the first time. We supplied nurses to eight Girl Guides' Camps. In most cases the Camp Commandant asks for a particular nurse. The greates~ kee~n~s.s is show.n in A.R.P. work. Courses of lectures are arranged by most Nursmg DIVlslOns. It IS to be hoped that many of the recruits, who have joined the classes organized ~y the City and Town Councils in many places, will join the St. John Ambulance Bngade. As more Councils take up this essential work the field for recruits will be enlarged. I welcome the appointment of Miss Lindley-Wood as Lady District Officer to the South-Eastern Area of the West Riding. .Be~ore closing my. report I I?-ust express my most gra~eful thanks to all my Lady DIstnct Officers; WIthout theIr help It would be ImpOSSIble for me to organize the women's work in this District. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, MURIEL BIRKBECK,

Lady District Superintendent, No.5 District.

' Of the four ambulances worked by Di,-isions, three, viz. Eston, \\llitby, and Great "\yton, were replaced during the year by new ones of modern type, and through the energy of ~he members an~ local generosity these "'ere all practically free of debt when dedicated. The \Yhltby ambulance in particular is called on to traverse many dangerous lulls and ~ft.en to visit lonely farms in places with difficulty accessible to motor traffic and a speCIally powerful vehicle had to be obtained. The Coronatio}:.-Duties in London at the Coronation were undertaken by 18 mem.bers, and 5? Officers and rank and file attended the Hyde Park Review.

I have the honour to present to you the report for the County of Shropshire for t.he year ending 31t. December, 1937. It is with very great. regret that I rcport the loss of Dr. R. L. E. Downer, who had perhaps clone more for the Brigade in t.he County than anyone and his work is too "ell known for me to cmbark in detail. "Under the year in quest.ion the numbers of the members of the Brigade in Shropshire were as follows : Officers and men 260 Lady Officers and ursing Sisters 127 Boy Cadets 63 Girl Cadets . 20

470 The progress that has been made "'ith the recruit.ment in the County is "ery partlc.ularly marked In the figures given abo"e, which show a total of 470 all ranks for the ounty which. is an increase of ..J: members during t.he year. It wIll also b~ noticed t~at c<;msiderable increase is shown in the Boy Cadets O\\'ll1g t.o the e(~cl.el!t method In which these are run by the respective Superintendents. Two ncw Dl\'lslons have been formed during the year; an Ambulance \Vorks Division at. \Vellington and a country Nursing Division at Burford. ,During the year under review the Shropshire Horticultural Show, the \Vest l\11dl~nd Agricultural ocieties Show, the Shrewsbury Carnival, local Carnivals, Hort.lcultural and Agricultural Shows, cinemas and football matches were all attended by members t.hroughout the wbole County and valuable work has been carried out at all thc J1nin public gatherings, as is. shown by the fact that throughout the County some 1,303 case are reported as haVIng been attended. The ount.y \\as well represented at the Coronation celebrations in London under Superintendent. Irwin, and Lady Di\'isional Superintendent Miss Corser J .P. did duty inside \Yestminster Abbey. ' , All Nursing Divisions were represented at the Royal Review in Hyde Park and at the ervice in St. Paul's athedral. During the year under review four members were recommended for promotion in the Order. All units were inspected during the year and I note the keenest efficiency and loyalty hown by all ranks. A.R.P. work throughout the County has made progress and there are some 126 members now holding certificates. During the year the County Parade was held at hrewsbury when some 400 members were present and the Commissioner for Wales inspected all Divisions.

A I BULAI CE BRIGADE.

The District Com.petitions were held this year at Shrewsbury and Hereford and many other friendly Competitions were arrangcd. An Officer' onference is held twice a year in the County when each Division is represented and I find that considerable help in promoting the work of the Brigade is given at these Conferences, when the vic\\ s of all ranks can be put before the mceting and eli cussed. Owing to the fact that the County is almost wbolly agricultural I fecI vcry satisfied with the \\'ay in which the Brigade Personnel ha\."e attended c\." ry ordinary and Public Duty, and once more I must cxpress my appreciation for the unccasing and indefatigable efforts of the County taff. The two ambulanccs, run and taffed by the Brigade in the County, havcrendcred invaluable service to the community and a tribute must be paid to the zcal of the Officers concerned, who are u ntiring in their efforts at maintaining and upholding the best traditions of the Brigade. . \ \'.

The strength at the end of the year is as follo\\ 5 : 136 Officers and men 42 Lady OIncers and ~ursing i tcrs 38 Boy Cadet 36 Girl Cadets .

251 Tobl The ne'\' Di\."i ion at Kington is kecn and acti\'c. An amhul,lllLC ~t'n'ice is being run most efficiently, and has proved of great bcnefit in this Ollt] 'ing p,nl of thc County. The other two ambulances in the County are in fYood conclition. and arc being u-.;cc1 extensi vel y. During the year I per onally inspected and re-examined all Di\.'blo ns, and r am satisfied that they are all efficient. A combined inspection was held at Kington on the occasion of the dedi catio n of the new ambulance. The Bishop of Hereford took part in the Service. Ther ' were 170 Brigade members on parade. The new headquarters at Ross-on-\ Yye are well under way . . \n exccl! nl sit!' h'1S been p u rchased, and most of the money required for buildmg has already b en r'll~l'd. Public duties are being well carried out, and have increac;cc1 in number Cood work is reported by the road patrols from Hereford. Itoss-on-\\"yl'. and L('dbl1n Fourteen members went to London for Coronation duty Other pulllic dutil's included attendance on the occasion of the \'i it of Her ::'lajesty C:llecn "\Tary to H ereford, and the staffing of First id posts at the Three Countics Sho\\", 8nd the H ereford and Kington l\1ay Fairs.

Synopsis of Work Done.-During the year 1937, 27,416 cases were treated (excluding road accidents). The District was honoured in being asked to take part in the Coronation Duty in London. Over 1,000 Officers and men under my command staffed the posts in Trafalgar Square, vVhitehall, Embankment, Northumberland Avenue, and Cockspur Street. The majority of them reported for duty at 5 a.m. and served until 5 p.m . The number of casualties dealt with totalled nearly 2,500. The Lady District Superintendent, Mrs. C. Falwasser, supervised the Nursing personnel in this section . The District played its full part in the Jubilee Celebrations of the Brigade. Selected Officers and Members paraded in Hyde Pa,.rk Review by H.M. the Queen,

213

and at the Church Parade at St. Paul's Cathedral. The District was also represented at the Buckingham Palace Investiture and St. James 's Palace Garden Party. Transport .-The total number of motor ambulances operated by Units in the District now numbers 81. During 1937 the motor ambulances removed 33,737 patients a total mileage of 414,060. Road Service.-There were 3,713 road accidents attended during the year and the ambulances travelled on these cases 27,079 miles. Thirty-eight Roadside First Aid Stations are operated. There are also 112 First Aid Cabinets maintained on the highways. Beach Service.-The twelve Beach First Aid Stations continue to be of great service to holiday folk.

I desire to express my thanks to my County Surgeons, and the Lady District Superintend ent for their valuable work in preparing the necessary te ts, to the judges, to my District Staff, to the Officers and Members of the various Units for their untiring efforts to make the competitions so successful. I am indeed grateful to one and all. Reviews .-By the kind invitations of the Dover and Brighton Corporations, the Kentish Units visited the former town, and the Surrey and Sus ex Units the latter town. Admiral Sir Edward Evans inspected the Dover Parade and Lieut.-General Sir James H artigan the Brighton Parade. The R eviews were well organized and all ranks did much credit to themselves by their smart turn-out and good bearing on parade and during the March Past in each case . Inspections.- otwithstanding the reviews all Units were inspected locally by myself or one of my Brigade Stall. The reports all testified to the general efficiency of the Units. Divisional Records.-Inspecting Officers have reported that records bave been well kept. I sincerely thank the secretaries for their efficient help. Finances.-I ~m deeply gra~eful to the Honorary Treasurers and Honorary AudItors for thelf valuable servIces, and to all others concerned with the accounts of Corps and Divisions. I1Iedical Profession .-The Surgeons of all ranks continue to maintain a keen interest and their valuable help is reflected in the efficiency of the Di trict. Police and M'unicipal AHthorities.-Relationship with the Police and ::'IIunic.ipal Authorities continues to be most cordial. Their help at all times is most valuable a nd appreciated by all ranks . Air Raid Precautions .-The District as a whole has been very much a live and a great deal of work has been carried out on behalf of the local authonties. Each area has now a District Officer under a District Headquarters' A.RI". Officer and to all I tender my best thanks for maintainin;r a high standard of efficiency untlcr such a high pressure of work.

I am proud of this report and of the very fine work being carriecl out bv my District, but such a record has been made possible only by the loyalt.y and hard work during the very limited leisure hours of all ranks in the District. The ASSIstant. Commissioners, Lady District Superintendent, and other nicer::; ane! ::'IIcmbers of the District could not have done more for the Brigade than they hav done already.

and also those employers of labour who allow their employees to carryon their ambulance duty without loss of wages. I am very pleased to see that on 157 occasions the nurses accompanied the ambulance-this is as it should be, but I feel that more use should be made of the nurses to accompany female cases. Road Casualties.-This year 273 accidents were attended, entailing a mileage of 3,205 miles. To meet the extra expenses entailed from attending these accidents, an annual grant of £150 is received from the County Council, which is divided among the divisions in proportion to the number of cases attended and the miles run. To deal with these road accidents we have established 36 First Aid Posts and 11 Roadside First Aid Boxes. As these are situated at points where accidents freq uently occur, they are found most useful. Puulic Duties.-All important shows. athletic gatherings, and football matches were attended. A detachment attended the Coronation celebrations in London and also the Royal Review in Hyde Park. During the VIsit of His Majesty the King to Cornwall on 1st December, detachments were on duty, and also assisted the police in controllmg the crowds, for which they were thanked by the Chief Constable. Lifeboat Duties.-All Cornish Lifeboats are linked up with a Division and are avallable when required. A nnual Inspection and Re-examination.-Tbese gave a percentage of 74 and 70 for men and 76 and 69 for women. ,lwllIal Churrh Parade.-This was held at Truro Catberlral in June when the Bishop of Truro pr€'ached, and 6 0 members attended. I inspected tbe parade and congratulated the members on one of the largest parades every held tn tbe County. Sllrszng DwistoHs.-U nder the supervision of my Lady County Superintendent :'III'S Townsend, aSSisted by Lady County Officer :\11 s Helen GryJls, they are doing excellt:nl work and 1 am greatly indebted to them.

January, 1938. To THE COlL'TY COM1>IISSIONER OF COR 'WALL. SIR .

I hnxe the honour to present my report on the ~ursing Divisions in Cornwall for 19' 7. They have put in 909 attendances at Hospitals in the County, and 224 at ItnlcS and ;\ledical Comforts-I, 133 in all; 593 cases of FIrst AId and Home Turslllg have been attended; 184 cases seen at Falmouth Beach Hut, and 267 attendances made at public duties. On 157 occasions have nurses gone out \\rith the ambulances. The great lOCrease in the numbers at Hospital attendances testifies to the value of the work. several of the Ambulance Sisters taking a fortnight's or a week's duty sleeping in, during the regular nurses' holiday time, and I have recen'cd Slllcere and gratIfying testlmony from l\latrons as to the quality of the work done. The adet movement has made great strides dunng the past year, and in that hes tile greate t hope for the future. ot only are the Cadets feeders for the ~Jursing DI ISlons, but the good disciplinary effects on character are very evident; several employers of these young girls have spoken highly of them; everything c'lepends on the Cadet Officers in charge; on them a great responsibility rests; in two of our Divisions, the Lady Divisional Superintendent herself gives up a separate evening a week to see after the Cadets specially, feeling how important this branch of our work is. J\ .R .P. classes also make considerable demands upon our members' time, between 30 and ..to Sisters having now qualified in various grades-indeed on reviewing the report for the 15 Cadet and Kursing Divisions of the S.].A.B. in Cornwall, I feel that very few of them fall below that high standard which is the aim of our great voluntary organization. And I know how cheerfully and freely they give of their services, one and all. It is in the hope that they ·w illiong continue to do that I take my leave of them. • (Signed) ETHEL TOWNSEND, Dame of Grace, Order of St. John.

Cadet Divisions :-The difficulty with Cadet Di\'isions is to find suitable officers who are keen on working with boys or girls; provided they can be obtained n9 difficulty is found in getting recruits. Divisions would do well to develop this side of their work, as a nursery for the sp.nior division.

To THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER FOR CORNWALL. IR, I beg to submit my report on A.R.P. work for 1937. After the interest taken in A .R.P. work in the latter part of 1936, there was some lack of keenness during the early part of the present year. Of course a good deal of tills slacking off was the result of the undecided position in which the County Council was placed. There was the usual falling off in the summer season when other work had the interest of the members. I am sorry I was unable to fill the vacancies for the allotted number of students to Falfield in August. I am afraid there \\'ill be ah\'ays a difficulty in tIllS maHer. 1Iembers of Brigades have to take their holidays thi month with their families, or are busy with the influx of visitors . There has been a great revival of interest in .\ .R .P. work this aut umn and the most pleasing feature is the number of Brigades and l"'ursing I tel'S who are readmg for, or have taken, their G. 1. 'Ye want more and more members from ooth the Brigades and ursing Dh-isions to get this qualification, if \\'e arc to get the community A.R.P. wise. H is heartening to find that our Governing Bodies are moving III the \\ork, and to find that a number are considering the formation of A .H .P. committees. A very pleasing feature is the interest taken in A.R.P. by the various outside organizations, more particularly among women; quite a demand for explanatory lectures are received in the east part of the County, and wiJI, I hope, leao to the formation of classes of instruction. The Brigades in the 'western part of the County are certainly makmg headway. Falmouth under Supt. J ackman is giving a good lead. The Nursing Sections are all showing keenness a nd a \\,Ish to gam the higher qualifications. Our numbers to date are : A mbulance Brigade. Grade 1, 10; Grade 2, 37 ; A.R.P.

especiall y where the Navy, Army, and Air Force are very strongly represented, meant a heavy tax on Brigade resources for all kinds of public duty. For instance, at the Ceremonial Parade on Plymouth Hoe, St. John Ambulance men reported 193, and. urses 14 ] , casualties; yet this was one of many gatherings catered for throughout the County. Brigade J1Ibilee.-Several Officers and Members have abiding memories of the impressive ceremonies and remarkable fellowship of the Brigade Jubilee clebrations beld at London in l\Iay. Representatives attended the Party at St. james's Palace, the Review by H. 1. the Queen, the Commemoration Service in St. Paul's Cathedral. The Inyestiture at Buckingham Palace and the special A.RP. Course. Lieut.-Colonel]. P. tephens ' Yard (County Surgeon) had the honour to be one of the Judges at the Jubilee Empire Competition. Royal Visits.-Of the thousands of public duties successfully undertaken, two worthy of special mention are when H.M. the King visited Princetown and Tavistock (in December), and when T.RH. the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester (in October) fulfilled public engagements in Plymouth. 'Vhen the Duchess launched H .M.S. Gloucester, for the first time St. John Ambulance personnel officially were on duty at a Devonport Royal Dockyard ship-launch. It was singularly appropriate that this new arrangement for important launches was when the Deputy-Commandantin-Chief of the Brigade's ursing Corps and Divisions officiated. Compl'tili ons.-The first two teams in the County Ambulance Competition were Millbay (1) and Plymoutll. Central (2). At the County ur ing Contest, lymouth Central were first and Sherwell second. Plymouth Public Central School Cadets hold the D ale Gold ledal and Plymouth Central Cadets the Sloman Cup for Cadet competition proficiency. All ranks keenly appreciate the gener~sity of Lieut.-Colonel and 11rs. J . P . Stephens 'Vard who take a great interest in the County's competition work. First, Colonel \Vard presented a handsome Coronation Trophy to encourage ambulance competition; then Mrs. Ward gave a beautiful cup for the be t ~ur~ing team in bed-making. The Nursing Divisions are also to be congratulated on their nt.hu sia m in marking the occasion of the Coronation by a collective gift of a rose-bowl to be competed for at the County Contests. Nursing Divisions.-As I am attaching the Annual Report of Lady ounty Superintendent Mrs. R. Balsdon on the manifold activ1ties of the J. -urses dUring the past year, there is no need for me to submit much detail in my own annual statement; but I must pay a "w ell-deserved tnbute to the manner 1n which the e ladies are not only sharing in the work of their male colleagues, but undertakmg all kinds of additional services for the sick and needy. I am very impre ~ed, too, by the manner in which the Girl Cadets add to their ordinary First A1d and -ur ing that kindly interest in sick children and the aged. Their wonderful Chnstmas glft parcels are indeed a credit to their skill as well as to their thought fuln s . Two devoted pioneer Lady Superintendents (~1esdames A. arder, of Ford, and 1. Avery, of Plymouth Central Divisions, have resigned appointment.s. The former owing to sickness in her home and having to leave the district; the latter on account of her own ill health. Both have done strenuous work for the Order. Air R::Lid Precautions.-Post-'Var Aid Raid Precautions activities may be said to have begun here in 1934, although some lectures by Service Anti-Gas experts were attended even earlier. As this County lies almost entirely within the Coordinated Passive Defence Area of the Port and Garrison of Plymouth there IS much mutually-helpful co-operation between the Forces and the Bri gade. Member have assisted at i\aval, Military, and Air Force displays at which efforts have been made to interest the public in A.RP. Before the Home Office supplied some anti-gas equipment, it was possible to carry on with training thanks to th matenal kindly lent by the R. . Anti-Gas School at Devonport. Its Superintendent, Lieut.Commander \V. J. Tonkin, has also generously afforded places in his courses for certain key-members of the A.R.P. First Aid Organization of the Port and Garrison . The Plymouth and District Ambulance Service has arranged for special training facilities to be at the disposal of the Brigade, including an exceptionally wellequipped and shored "Refuge Room "-an object lesson for A.R.P. students. During the Passive-Defence Exerci ses of 14th-15th J ul y the Brigade in and near Plymouth played an active part. I ought particularly to refer to the responses of the Saltash Division near the great Royal Albert Bridge between Devon and Cornwall, and the turn-out of personnel 'with gas-masks, protective clothing, and some even with shrapnel helmets, when a large building was supposed to be " demolished ..

At the close of the year, A.R.P. qualificat.ions were : Civilian Ant.i-Gas chool Instructor . 1 :'lilit.ary Anti-Gas School Instruc t.or (V.A .D .) 1 Grade 1 Instru ct.ors . 37 Grade 2 Instructors 4 H olders of A.H..P. ert.ificates 145 In 193 , many more classes will be held under the provisions of the A.R.P. Act, 1937, as well a cont.inuance of the instruction within the Brigade and propaganda amongst the general public. l!onoltys. - During the year, the Venerable Order of St. John has recognized the long and fait.hful senic.c of Lieut.-Colonel J. P. Stephens Ward (County Surgeon) by promot.lI1g' h1m from the grade of Officer to that of Commander, whilst Superintendent S. \\'. ~1. Pryor has been admittcd as a erving Brother. The Order's Scrvlce :i\Icdal has been awardcd to 19 Officcrs and ~Iembers; a Staff Sergt. gained the bar to his medal. . 1ppnciation.-In conclusion I desire to express my gratitude to all the Staff fficers who ha\'c assist d me in administ.ration; and to all ranks for their loyal and efficicnt. servIce. ~Iany have made considerable sacrifices.

CO~I:\lISSIO.·ER,

COL'TV OF PLV~IO TH, SOUTIf-\\'l!.ST DE\'ox, AXD EAST CORNWALL. I have the honour to submit. my eleventh Annual Report. In summarizing the 1 h 'isional }{cports it is it pleasurc to note that the exceptionally high standard attained dUrIng t.he JubIlc'e Year (1936) has been maintained in 1937, with its outstanding duties of the Coronation and the parades and functions of the Jubilee of t.he I3ricyacle. Great national pe "li\ Illes only sen'e to emphasize the magnificent voluntary \\ ork of our members 111 all part.s and although the Coronation duty was not so strenuous as for our Slsters in London, the service of every available member was nceded for the combined Parade and Celebration of the Three Services and Civic Aulhorities on t.he Hoc. Duty Aid Posts were exceptionally busy o\\'ing to the great heat. of t.he carly part of the day which produced casualties among the ranks of the en'ice men and evcn greater numbers from among the civilian population prcsent. Throughout the day the festivities continued in the city and the smaller towns in the vicinity \\ here children were celebrating under arrangements of the various local Councils and Education Authorities. In spite of bad weather, later in the day, nurses were sent to posts of duty by steamer and road transport and it was not until the bonfIres had died down and the happy but weary revellers had gone to their homes that. the St. John I urses were able to leave their post of duty. umerous testimonial have been received from those responsible for the organization of the oronation fun ctions in which the valuable work of our members has becn freely xpressed. Public Duties attended by Turses numbered 2,741. Outstanding among them, and in addition to the Ol-onation duties already mentioned, were:Nav)' Week when Turses again co-operated in staffing a temporary hospital for civilian casualt.ics at the Sick Quarters and for duty at various points of the Dockyards where the Naval Authoritie had First Aid Posts. Other selected and trained

personnel assisted the staff of the R.N. nti-Gas School in A.R.P. Displays to educate the general public. The Naval Authorities had staged a very spectacular show which demonstrated the need of preparing a gas-proofed room in a civilian's house-the fire party dealing successfully with fire caused by incendiary bombs-first aid parties dealing with civilians who refused to take necessary precautions and become gas casualties and finally the demolition and rescue squads and decontamination squads at work. Similar assistance was given by the same urses in connection with the .rl nny at Home at the Royal Citadel, but in this connection the Turses only demon trated the gas-proofing of a room and fitted civilians with respirators for a gas chamber test . 1937 will be memorable in view of the T'isit of T.R.H. the DlIke and Duchess of Gloucester in connection with the launching of H.l\I.S. Glo1lcester, the opening extension of the Alexandra ursing Home and visit to Duchy tenants. The duty covered a very considerable area through outh-\Yest Devon, East ornwall, and the City of Plymouth with continuous staffing for nine hours. This is the first occasion we have been asked by the naval authorities to staff at a ship-launch and work under the direction of the R. . Surgeon in charge of medical arrangements. On 1st December H.llI. the King vi ited the west, and we stailed the vital positions of a route extending from the border of the Devon ounty via Two-Bridg s, Princetown, and Tavistock to the Cornish Brigade Boundary at Greystone Bridge. Tavistock was the venue of a great British Legion Rally for the County. peclal First Aid Posts had been secured and equipped at congested areas of the to\\n and in spite of verywet weather His Iajesty fulfilled all engagements. IL was a memorable day for the \-vest country and for many .].A.B. Turses a great Inspiration to starr for the Sovereign Head of the Order. Considerable transport arrangements were necessary in order to convey members from one point to another, but the duty \Va most successful and the Chief Constable expressed his great apprcciailon. 1937 will be a year to be remembered by all those \\ ho were fortunate enough to be selected to represent the County at the Brigade Jubilee elebrations at Hyde Park and St. Paul's Cathedral. The full quota allowed for this ounty was accepted and those of ursing Divisions and the ursing adet \\ ill remember ,nth great pride the part they were permitted to take with those of all parts of the Empire. Girl Guide Camps, First Aid Posts, school treats, and oiher outdoor functions have, as usual, been staffed. r urses accompanied patients being transported by ambulance on 1,459 occasions with a total mileage of ,13~. rippled and invalid children have been accompanied to the two open air schools daily throughout the year and fetched again in the afternoon. This is a work requiring both tact and cheerfulness on the part of our members. First Aid Post at Plymouth Hoe again proved its usefulness during the summer vacation. 195 persons received attention for injuries, many were of a minor nature, but there were also several very serious injuries and reqUlred ambulance transport to the nearest hospital. It was interesting to note that among addresses of casualli '5 from various parts of the United Kingdom were also those from anada and Germany. A .R.P. T1'aining has also been continued throughout the year and several Diyi<;ions have now taken requalifying examinations. Knowledge was put to a test on 14th July when Nurses were permitted to take part in the Port and Garrison Black-out. After receiving notice that the Dockyard Telephone Exchange had been destroyed, the members were as speedily as po'; lble transported from the Central Ambulance Station to the Dockyard. Here in conjunction with Ambulance personnel they successfully found the" buried casualties ", diagnosed injuries and mustard gas contamination, treated and conveyed by ambulance to the sick quarters, where the 1\1.0. expressed entire satisfaction on the way the duty was carried out. Hospital Duties have been undertaken at the three general hospitals, Prince of "Vales's, Greenbank, Devonport, and Lockyer Street. Of the 320 attendances many have been for whole day and night duties during sickness of hospital staff. Orthop::edic Clinic duties at the South-West Devon Clinic have been continued and the Clinic Secretary has expressed appreciation of the great help given by our members in this ever-growing Clinic. Competitions.-In order to commemorate the Coronation, the Officers and Members subscribed for an additional trophy for the County Competition-the Coronation

Rose Bowl. A new bed-making trophy was also presented by the wife of the County Surgeon and is registered as the Dorothy Ward Cup. The result of the 1937 ursing Competition was : Gale Shield (Championship)-Plymouth Central. Caroline Beckly Cup (Runners-up)-Sherwell. . Coronation Rose Bowl (Individual First Aid)-Plymouth Co-operative. Dorothy Ward Cup (Bed-making)-Sherwell. . V.A.D.-The County Controller, Brigadier-General W. F. S. Edwards, upo~ hl~ appointment, conducted the County Controller's .Inspection at the Ro~al SaIlors Rest in conjunction with the War Office Ins~ecting Officers, accompan: ed by the Senior Assistant County Controller, Col. C. r. EllIS, C.M.G., on 3rd March. SIX ~t. John Detachments in the ity of Plymouth were on parade and secured very satisfactory reports. Cadets.-I am happy to report that we have a keen and enthusiastic group of girls taking an interest in various badge-subjects .. Three have secured the ~.R.P. I ersonnel erLificate, a subject opened to them dunng the year. The usual Chnstmas gifts of dolls, baby clothes, and invalid req~ire~ents we~e ma~e by ~he Cadets <l:nd distributed to hospitals and other orgaruzations dealing WIth cnpped and slck children and old folk. The recipients were most grateful and the .matrons of the hospitals sent most encouraging letters of appreciatio~ to our ~oung Bngade me~ bers. The girls themselves derived great pleasure from thIS practIcal way of fulfillmg one of the Order's mottoes. . I regret that two of our senior Lady Divisional Superintendents have, o.wmg to sickness, been placed on the Brigade Reserve d.uring the year.

The increase in road trafflC, with its attendant accidents, together with the large number of removals undertakcn by the Brigade, necessitates the constant renewal of motor ambulances, and financial help from Local Authorities should be on a more generous scale.

I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the East Devon Area for the year nding 31st December, 1937. Thc stcady progrc s made last year has been well maintained: there is an increase of str ngth 111 personnel and the Divisions have gained in experience. Interest is being shown 1I1 the Cadet movemcnt. Informal meet.ings of Officers have been held at Sidmouth: these have proved helpful. The SIr Garbutt Knott Cup was competed for at Exmouth in October. Great interest was shown, nearly every Division and Section in the area sending a team to compct.c. The rule of not making uniform compulsory for a new Division allowed of more entrants and the result has been that an interest has been created for competition work, almost from the formation of a Di\'ision. The Cup was won by Axm111ster, with Exmouth a clo e second. ExpaJlsion - .\ new Di"ision has been formed at Ottery St. l\Iary and a Section at Colyton. Investigation has been made of the possibilities in the northern and spars Iy populated parts of the area. Efforts made at Lyme Regis have so far been unsuccessful. Co-operatIOn Red Cross.-There is a mutual d esire to be of assistance to one another, this is shown in many dircctions but particularly with A.R.P. Strength of A )'ea.-Staff, 4; Surgeons, 9; Superintendents, 7; Officers, 6; .C. O .s and Privates, 14 ; Total, 174, an increase of 4. Cadets, 10.

A .R.P.-Courses are being given whenever possible and an increase of interest is being shown. It is difficult to provide for the additional instruction without interference with normal F.A. training. The A.R.P. Film was shown throughout the area in October. Insp ectiol1s.-The County Commi sioner has cont.inued his effort.s t.o.make personal contact with each Division by inspecting those he was unable to VISIt last year.

Divisional Reports. Axminster and District.-The compet.ition for the Alhusen Cup was held early in the year and the benefit to individual pract.ical work was evident in the higher standard shown. The ambulance operatcd by the Division has been of great benefit to the district. Budleigh Salterton.-Useful work has been carried out by staf6ng the Beach Hut, attending football matches, etc. The resignation of Superintendent 01. Rowlandson, J.P ., D.S.O., has been received with regret. Colyton Section.-There is good prospect of this section dcvcloping into a division and a local branch of the Association has been formcd. Exmouth Town.-The ambulance work of the town is now undertakcn by this Division and the transport work is well organized by Transport Offtcer Perriam Duties at sports meetings, swimming galas, and the Beach Hut are regularly canied out. EXJJ'tOuth Police and Fire Brigade.-The ret.urns naturally show a decrease ince the transport work has been taken over by thc Town Division, neverthele s useful work has been done under Superintendent Police Inspector Holmes. Honiton.-The satisfactory progress made by this Division last year has been well maintained under Superintendent Hebden. lose co-operation exists wlt.h th local Red Cross V.A.D. in A.R.P. Football and other duties have been regularly carried out. Ottery St. 1\1 ary.-Difficulties have been experienced 0"\\ ing to the re ignation of the Act/Supt. A. V . Taylor, caused by bis remo"\'al from the dl t.ri c~ to a more important post on the railway. Ir. Prince, who was largely responSIble for the formation of the Division, has taken over, and the future outlook is good. Seaton and Beer.-The strength has been maintained notwithstanding many difficulties. Outdoor practices were held in the summer and. upt. \Y. A. IIa\\ ker has been instrumental in getting a Beach Hut establish d by the local council and which is staffed regularly on certain days in conjunctIon WIth Red ro '5. Sidmouth.-The new ambulance has been of great benefit., the ambulance work of the to'\VD. being carried out by this Division under upt. A. W. Iri h. In addition to the usual duties at cinemas, etc., cliff rescue work has been carricd out on two occasions at considerable risk. Gittisham Section.-This is attached to Honiton.

J?- nUI?bers; I.n th.IS I must say I am a little disappointed as I had looked for a dlStlllCt lllCrease III Vlew of the large amount of interest taken in Air Raid PrecautJon work in the country, but there are signs now of larger numbers cominO' forward and I hope that during the current year we shall be sufficiently strong t~ deal \\ Ith any emergency that may arise. I.n ~Iay a new division was registered in the Heavitree district of Exeter, and whilst a few members from the City of Exeter Division were transferred to it a new area has been tapped which. should prove very useful to the city. Already a large ll\~ll~ber of cases have been attended and public duties have been performed by that DIVISion. F~esh int.erest ~as been aroused in the Dartmouth Division, and a flourishing sectlOn has been lnaugurated at I ingswear. The. old-e ·tablis~ed Div~::;ions continu~ to keep up their reputation and I was mu ch H;tI:re. sed With tl~e Improvement III efficiency in First Aid work during the year. 11w; may be .attnbuted to the excellent instruction given by the Divisional urgeons and tlpenntendents and to the keenness of all ranks to become masters of thc work thcy have set their hands to. A ne'y .ambula. nce a.t Newton Abbot, purchased out of the money collected by t.he DIVI lon, was detlIcated to the work of the Brigade by the Lord Bishop of Exeter, ~n th.e 7th October, i~ the presence of a large assembly. The ambulance was put. lnt. Imm edlat.e commIssion and by the end of the year had done a lot of good work. . Eilort are being made at L~ hburton to\\'ards obtaining Headquarters, and it IS hoped that dunn rr the comlllg year that object will be accomplished. If all DI\'15IOnS had a place they could call their own I feel sure greater efficiency and larger numbers would result. Torquay, Paignton, Teignmouth, and Dawlish, the Divisions situated in the popular hohday resort.s, all have their seaside dressing stations, and during the summer months attend many cases. The To~n Ar:1bulance covers a large area and travelled 5,350 miles in the course of Its duiles dunng the year. A.shpnllglon Div~ sio n h<l:s pa ed through a rather difficult year, no Superintendent havlllg been appom.te.d. Slllce the death of the. late .Ir. Osborne. The Sergeant, t.o a~e t.her With the Divi JOnal urgeon, are carrymg on m the meantime. South Brent and Buckfastleigh come under the Totnes Corps and have attended ovcr 100 cases during the year. , I am looking for an increa~e in numbers in the Kings?ridge Division. During the ) car under review the. upenntendent was unable to gIve a great deal of attention to the work of the Bngade owing to his having to undergo a severe operation, but ~ am gla.d to say .h~ :s now fully recovered and numbers will, I hope, continue to Improve, th.e DIVISIon has done a lot of work, the Ambulance havinO' covered some 5,575 mIles. t> hudleigh is a,nother Division whic~1. will show: an increase in strength in the ne~r future . . :M aJor Douglas was appomted Supenntendent during the year and is qUickly gettmg a gra p of the work. _ J?ri.xham. remains rather at a standst.ill, but good work at the Annual Regatta I'alr IS carned out by the members.

Lastly, all tho mbulance work of the ity of Exeter is undertaken by the Exeter Division, the City Police, and the new Division at Heavitree to which reference has already been made. The ambulances have been in constant use, having removed some 1,027 cases and travelled some 13,327 miles. Cadet Divisiolls.-Exeter is in a very flourishing way in respect to its Cadet Division. Its trength has considerably increased since last year, and on my vi. it to them I was much impressed with the di cipline and ke nness of the boys. The same remark apply to Chudleigh and Newton Abbot. I look upon Cadet Divisions as the mo t important means of keeping the .\dult Divisions up to strength, and in a few years' time the standard of those Divisions \\ III be raised as fullytrained men will be joining the ranks having received excell nt instruction in the Cadet Division. Ashburton, Brixham, Torquay, and Totnes all arc going ahead with their Cadets and will prove of great benefit to their respective Adult Divisions not far hence, besides doing a lot of useful work at the present time. Competitions.-All the County Competitions and the District Competitions were held in the lid-De"on Area during the year. The ::'IIamhead ' hicld for Kursing Divisions being held at Paignton, the ::'IIarcus Hare Cup for .Ambulance Divisions at Torquay, the Ellis Cup for Boy Cadets at A hburton, and the )\'ursing adet Competition at Exeter. The District Competition for Ambulance and .c Tllrsing Di'lslons was held at Exeter. The Competition for a Cup \\hich \\'as pre ented by Dr. Hichard Gray, open to teams, mem.bers of which had not taken part in a County r District Competition, was held at Tewton bbot, and another up, also pre enled by Dr. Gray for Nursing Divisions under the same conditions, took place at Exeter. A good entry for all competitions was obtained, and thanks of all concerned are due in no small measure to the Divisions and branches of the ,\ssociation' which so kindly acted as hosts. Aiy Raid Precalltions. Courses of lectures ha'-e bC'en held in many places under the auspices of the Brigade and the followin a certificate' have been obtained : Rallk

It is difficult to speak too highly of hl qualities a. he had endearec1 hill1!'cH to all, and he \yill be much missed. Corps Supt. John Rice retired from the .-ewton Abbot orps at tl1 end of ill year after having completed 37 years with the Ambulance I3ri~ac1c. and for the last 17 years he has been in charge. During this lon~ period of service his heart has been thoroughly in the work and he has given up an II11I11enS amount of time to it. He takes with him the thanks and good wishes of all. In conclusion I wish to place on record my appreciatIon of the help given me in tills my first year in charge of the area by my County Surgeon, aptain Gray, th three Corps Superintendents, and all others who, by their willing co-operation , have helped to make my task as easy as possible .

2~3!J

Officer, 7 Ambulance Divi ions with 17 Officers and 135 other ranks, 3 Cadet Divisions with 6 Officers and 45 other ranks, a total of 27 Officers and 180 other ranks. The high standard of work of previous years has been maintained by all Divisions and much interest in A.R.P. has been shown by all ranks. Barnstaple.- The strength is now 27. an increase of 3, but a still larger Division IS definitely needed to serve this important centre. There have been 120 public duties, while 227 cases have been treated. At all times have members proved willing and loyal, and although there have been many calls on their time, they have always re 'ponded readily. new Austin 20 :;\Iotor Ambulance, a gift to the Division, 'was dedicated in February, the ceremony being performed in the Market Hall by the Bishop of E 'eter. Dunng the year 4,553 miles were travelled and 383 cases removed by the Motor Am bulance. Duty was undertaken locally during the Coronation Celebrations and one Officer and three other ranks \\'ent to London for duty during the Royal Procession. During the local Fair members were on duty for three days, an ideal First Aid Post. bein rr maintained in the Fair precincts, the Barnstaple Council kindly lending a band ·tand for this purpose. AIr 1{aid Precautions have occupied much time and thought, the Division now numbering five Grade 2 Instructors among its members, all of whom hold the Brigade CertIficate in A.R.P. Through the ingenuity of Supt. F. Knott, an empty house was fitted up as an l .R.P. exhibit.ion, featuring among other exillbits a gas protected room. The members of the Nursing Division acted as demonstrators to the general public, over 900 of whom \'is ited the exhibition. .\ further course of lectures is just bell1g concluded. 1\ Panel of blood transfusion donors has been established to sen'e local needs and I controlled by the Division although members of the general public have also been enrolled. This is an excellent service greatly appreciated by the taff of the local ho pital and such a c.heme could very wcll be adopted by other Divisions wit.h a local hO'pltal to sen e. The Barnstaple ,\. cociation ha now passed a number of Standing Orders which, in ti1l'ir operation. will bring about a still closer co-operation between Division and As:ociation . Th' 1 i\'i;,ion is to be congratulated on obtaining the valued help and intere3t of I r. 1 ixey as 1 i\'isional lIon. President.

In .\ RP. the Di\'ision has been progressll1~ £a\'ourably, nearly all members no\\ holel certificates. A further course of lectures is in progre s. ..\ hrst .Ald Hut was pro\ Idecl by the N'ortham .D.C. at \Yestward Ho. this has been fully equipped and members have done duty there on Sundays throughout the summer, dealing With 23 ca. es. lasses 11a\'e been held in First Aid and as a result 5 Certificates, 1 Voucher, 6 :\ledallions, and 13 Labels have been awarded. .\ new :\Iotor .\mbulance i to be purchased shortly with the latest equipment, the .lssociation cle'>lring that the Divi ion shall be equipped \\'ith every facility for cIealll1g effiCiently \\lth the great number of cases to which member gi,-e their tlJne and training. Bmw/toll.-The work of this DiVIsion continues to grow, good work with efficiency being the key-note. J IV. Supt. Harris left the di trict to take up a new post and G. E. hute was apPoll1ted in his stead. A few members have left the district but several new recruits have been obtained so that numbers remain about the same. Association classes have been held and well att neled, all members taking the examination being successful. nti-gas and .\ .R.P. lectures were given by Corps Officer Latimer and at the subsequent examination, 24 members pas ed and received certificates, the Divisional 'urgeon ohtaining his Grade 1 ertificate.

Four member went to London for His Iajesty's Coronation to undertake duty on the route of the procession. During the summer months members have undertaken duty at the North Devon Aerodrome during the week-ends and have been on call while flying was in progress during the week. I should like to congratulate the Divisional 'urgeon on his adaptation of the ordinary carrying sheet for the transport of patient into the hort Scion 1\Ionoplane. The carrying sheet ha been pocketed so that it can be reinforced by three-ply wood where necessary and an injured part protected during the most difficult process of getting a case into the plane. The Hut at Croyde Bay has been staffed and maintained throughout the summer by members and many cases treated. Combe llJartin.-This Division has had a busy year, a large number of cases, fortunately many of a minor nature, having been attended and members have responded without delay to all calls made upon them. The As ociation 1\Iotor Ambulance has been manned by the members and no delay has yet occurred in turning out notwithstandi.ng the fact that many members are busily engaged in land work. Three members were on duty in London on Coronation Day, bearing their 0\\ n expenses. All sporting and other events throughout the year occurring in the locality have been attended, this work showing an increase on that of previous years. This is gratifying as it shows that both organizer of public event and the general pubhe are evincing much more appreciation of the work of the Brigade. A.R.P. classes were commenced in January but an outbreak of inGuenza play d such havoc with the attendance that they had to be abandoned until the winter These classes were better attended although the general public failed to take advantage of them. This is mo t disappointing in view of the great amount of publicity given to this subject. Several of the original members of the Division have resigned owing to pre sure of business, but new recruits are replacing them and the numbers arc thus being maintained. In June the Division turned out at 9 p.m. for a cliff accident and" ere on duty all night together with Board of Trade officials and the police It was impos ible to effect a rescue in the dark owing to the bad state of the cliff face and the tide, but as soon as dawn broke, the cliil rescue apparatus \Va. used \\'ith sUCee s and the rescued conveyed to hospital by motor ambulance. Ilfl'aco11lbe.-The past year was a busy and succe "sful one, 199 public dulies being filled and 1 9 cases treated, a marked increase on previous years. The First Aid Hut at 'Yoolacombe, where duties are shared with member of the B.R.C.S., was staffed continuously from \\'hitsun to the middle of September and 15-! cases treated. Football matches and all summer entertainments were covered and It is gratIfyl11g to find that the services of the Division have been requested by the organizers of all important events during the year. Five members did duty in London during the oronation. In the Lady Forester Cup Competition, the Division obtained the Hoerman up a nd third place, a result which augurs well for next year. The training of boys and youths in First Aid is going well. By the enthusiasm shown it is confidently expected to register a Division in 193 . The Division suffered a loss in the resignation of Supt. Dunce 10 eptember owing to ill health. He has worked assiduously for the Division since Its formation and all wish him a speedy recovery. The older members maintain theIr interest to a man and the majority of " casualties" are accounted for by younger members leaving the district. few members are being recruited from the Association clas es so that the Division maintains its numbers very well. Dr. Boone has worked 'with untiring enthusiasm and Sgt. Rogers has stepped into the breach made by the loss of the Superintendent and has held the Division together with vigour. Thanks are due to the Association for its support and interc t, and to Dr. Boone and Major Thomas for silver cups presented to the DiVision for competition. A.R.P. classes started at the beginning of the fear failed through illness and arrangements are being made to recommence the work as members are keen to qualify for their certificates. There has been a splendid response by members to all calls, no single duty going unfuliilled, even during the busiest period.

Lynton alld LynlllOuth.-This is a good Division doi~g excellent work <?ften under most difficult conditions. The amount of work done In 1937 shows an Increase on any other year, invalid transport bcinl? very m~ch on the increase. The number of road accidents at the foot of ountisbury Hill and elsewhere brought frequent emergency calls during the rush of holiday traffic. The new Bedford Ambulance was put into service early in July and se~ms to be very well adapted for its job. The dedication of this vehicle was marred by Inclement weather but was well attended nevertheless, A.RP. lectures were interrupted by influenza but it is hoped to have at least 75 per cent of the men holding certificates when the current lectures are over. The re-examination in First Aid was ",ell attended and all passed. The Committee decided to retain the old Dodge Ambulance to meet the calls to crashes on Lynmouth and ountisbury Hill, and, being off~red free accom.modation where two members are employed within 200 yards of the sItes o~ m?st aCCIdents, it is found by experience that this ambulance. can be o~ the spot \~ItbIn a very few minutes of the crash. The old ambulance wlll be retamed for thIS very necessary work while present conditions obtain. outh JlIolton.-From being a very small but active Division it has grown to a strength of 25, this being an increase of on last year. About 30 cas s were attended and 5-! other cases removed by the motor ambulance. Three members \\'ent to London for oronation duty. Th Division an wered every call made upon its sen'ices and attended every public duty. .\ H. P. lectures durin a the winter were well attended by members and the general pu blic and ev ryone \~hO presented themselves for e,xan:ination in this subject gained a certlncate. All member passed t~1.e re-ex~m1Oation.. ., Th 111creas d member "hip has helped conSiderably III the shanng of duties Without detractmg from the enthusiasm that the members have always shown. Cadets Th adet movement IS in a very healthy condition in this Area, the three IhvlslOn having no dIfficulty In getting recr~its a~d . r~taining their. ~em~ers. .\5 a traml11g and recruiting ground for the Semor DlvlslOns, the pOSItion IS at present unsatisfactory at the critical years from 16 to .17~, when boys ~re of~e?- .too big for 'adet uniform and are too young to be admItted to the SenlOr DIVISlO~. '1 his gap must be bndged by some means a?-d I would sug&est tl?-a~ .Cadets of thIS age with some years' service should be ~dmltted to t.he Se~l.lor 1?I.vlslOns. as Probation r~, as tbere IS a great danger of losmg them dunng thIS waItIng p.enod. . Barnstaple continues to mal11tain its usual high standard of effiCIency and IS turning out an excellent type of boy, smart and euthusiastic. . . In 'ombe l\Iart111 recrUIts have nearly doubled the numbers and the ongmal members are malOtaining their Interest. The movement fills a long-felt want 3:s there are no other Inter .-ts for boys during the " 'inter. During the summer, WIth the as I ·tance of Toc II, encket and sports are arranged for the boys. Bra.unlon is also 111creasing its memberslup and good work and enthusiasm are maintained. It IS quite definite that Ilfracombe and Lynton will register Divisions in the new year, a c1as es have been in progress for some time. Jnspectlolls.-I have, with the support of the Area S~aff, carried ~)Ut all inspec~ions which were entirely atIsfaciory. There is always a feelIng of goodWIll and enthusla m anel on the completIon of the 111 pection, an opportunity is always given for discussion and in tlllS way many local difficulties can be smoothed out, all ranks t':lrning ~o ~he Staff for advice on the e occaSlOns thus showing the excellent relatIons eXIsting between members, their officers, and the Inspecting Officers. .11olor A mbulallccs.-The Area i now well served and all vehicles have been kept busy throughout the year. The condition of all vehicles is excellent and the response to all calls prompt and efficient. . . Lynton is now using two motor ambulances, a great advantage to the tWl11 VIllages, as the old vehicle is stationed in Lynmouth very near to the bottom of the dangerous hills. Bideford and South ~Iolton will shortly put new motor ambulances into service. Air Raid Precalltions.-The influenza epidemic interfered with the continuity of classes in some places, but by the end of the year, all Divisions had received lectures or lectures were in progress and it is hoped that in the new year most of our members in this rea will hold A.R.P. Certificates. ~lore Grade I Instructors are needed as most of them at present are our Surgeon

In,

I ha\'c the honour t.o submit t.o you my annual report for the year ending 31st December, 1937. There are now In the County: S .\mbulance Diyi ions. 5 l~ursing Divisions . 3 adet Divisions. Their st.rengt.h being :235 men 97 women 70 Cadets (viz. boys, 17 ; girls, 53) making a total of 402 for the \\ hole County. .\!though there is a small decrease in tbe Adult Divisions there has been a very satisfactory increase in the Cadets of 53, bringing the total to the above figure which shows a net increase of 49 on 1936. In addition to this there are several new Cadet Divisions in process of formation and these should come into being in 1938. This increase is satisfactory and augurs well for recruiting for the Adult Divisions in the future. TO County Inspection was held this year on the grounds of saving expenses of transport for the Coronation year when many calls on the slender funds of the Divisions were probable, but all Units were inspected locally by myself, accompanied by my County Officer, Iajor Colin Forbes. The strength of the Poole orps is now 150 and an Inspection was carried out at

Poole Park under ideal conditions at which the l\Iayor and fayoress were present, accompanied by members of the Council and Ol-poration offIcials, a.nd the me~~ers of the Brigade and their friends were aftcrwards entertained to tea Jl1 the mUI1lClpal building. . . . It is very gratifying to see the excellcnt and fncndly fee~Jl1g U:at eXlsts between the :M unicipal Authorities and the St. John Ambulance Bngade 111 a ll part~ of t~e County, and the 'M ayor of 'Weymouth and the Uayo:ress too have. done all 111 theIr power to foster its interest and help the movcment In every po sIble .way, and, as stated in a previou report, untiring efforts have been a~d. are bemg made by Councillor B ert Biles to raise the neces ary funds for the pro\ ISlOn of a Headquarters Building for the Division, and a very good start has been made a~d. the work will commence in the near future. It is hoped that before thc l\IunIclpal ycar ends that the buildin cY will be finished when it will be handed over to the Brigade. Further sums are reqnir~d , but all confidence is fclt that tho e who ar interestcd in our good and voluntary work will come forward with that financial aid that is needed

Cases attended and R emovals.The total number of cases attended is 2.953 Removals 55 ;\Iileage 7.30 The greatest mileage is shO\\'n by h aftesbury with 3,993 and here there is a new and modern ambulance. This, and the one at Dorchester, are the only ambulanccs which ar' affiliat d under the Joint Council. On the occasion of the Coronation of His l\Iaj csty the Km g a contll1gent of wdlm€{ helpers went to London and worked on the line of route, bell1g stationed wilh the Brentford Division at Constitution IIili. Portland supplied the largest number of mcn and Poole olhers, and in all 1 were on duty. A iy Raid P recautions.-Co nsiderable progress ha been made in this \\ ork sInce the last report, the figures up to the end cf 1937 bemg : Grade I 9 Grade II 23 .R.P. Cadets 96 A.R.P.

E . ox who has donc most valuable work. He is a Falfield qualified man and has been of thc greatest help. especially in thc early part of the year, when there were very few lectures in thc ounty. I should also like to record my high appreciation of the valuablc help gJ\'en me by Major Tennyson Smith, the Hampshire Commissioner! Major :\101':,c the As istanl Commissioner, and their Officers at a time when I was WIthout sufficlent Instructors and Examiners. In conclusion, I beg to tender my best and grateful thanks to my ounty Staff for all their loyal and efficient help and co-operation without \\hich the work in the County could not be carried on, also to the other Officers and thc rank and filc. and I should like in this connection to make spccial mention of Dr. E. . Bo\\cs. the County Surgeon, who has been most helpful in the maHer of tcsts in .t~c D.1Strict Competitions, 1ajor Colin Forbes, District Officer, who has bccn .untmng In the work he has carried out in a similar capacity and for va.luable help II1 thc matter of District and Local Competitions, and Mrs. Lansdown who aitcr a long record with the Brigade feels compelled to leave us at the close of the year-she has been a loyal servant and her loss will be much deplored . Dr. Cooper has proved himself a most efficient Officer and Surgeon and it is largely on account of his efforts that the ursing Division in Weymouth bas proved its worth so far as competitions are concerned. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, F. H. RODlER HEATH , County Commi sioner, Officer, Order of St. J obn.

SIR,

I have the honour i.o submit this, my first Annual l~eport for the Count\' of Cambridge for the year ending 31st December, 1937. The year under review has not been an easy one owing to the leorganizatIon of the old No. 10 District following the greatly regretted death of Major J F . C. Hossack.

I am pleased, also, to be able to report that there is every possibility of one or two fresh Divisions being form d during the next twelve months. Divtsio')owl Inspections.-I have personally inspected all Divisions and am pleased to record that I am satisfied with their efficiency and impressed with their enthusiasm. .A.R.P.-This important work contmues to occupy the time of all Divisions, and although much has been accomplished, there is still much ground to be covered. I have four Grade I Instructors and 5 Grade II Instructors. T?'ansport Duties.-A branch of the work which is very much appreciated by the publIc is the attendance on the local ambulance of members of the Brigade. The two Ambulance Divisions who carry out this work covered over 15,000 miles between them during the year. The ounty was well represented at the Coronation and also at the Review by Her illajesty the Queen in Hyde Park in i'Iay. These visits outside the County are of very real assistance, especially in a scattered area such as this County, and definitely increase the enthusiasm of the men and their interest in the ·work. I would like to express my appreciation of the assistance which is given generally throughout the County to the Brigade by the Press. I would also like to record my appreciation of the loyalty and co-operation which has been sl1o"'n to me by all Officers and ranks in the County since my appointment. If the enthusiasm of the past few months is continued, I am confident that the work of the Brigade in the County will show a considerable extension during the next few years. Although Cambridgeshire is one of the Brigade's babies, so far as Sl7e is concerned, I feel confident that the infant is a lusty one and capable of satisfactory growth and progress. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, K. S. MAURICE-SMITH, County Commissioner.

IR, I ha\'e the honour to submit to you my report for the County of Essex for the year 1937. During the year the unforeseen and unfortunate death of Major Hossack, Commissioner of ~o. 10 District, on the eve of his retirement, was greatly deplored. He was engaged at the time of his death in a scheme for organizing his District' into County l 'lll tS; this scheme he left unfinished. His experience and organizing ability have been greatly missed. I had many conferences with him about the establishmenl of Essex on a county basis, and we had decided to recommend Colchester as the Headquarters in Essex and to appoint someone resident there as Commissioner. \Ve have been fortunate in the acceptance of this office by Colonel Hamilton, and under his able leadership the work in Essex will continue to flourish. The units are increasing in numbers, the members are maintaining their high standard of "'ork. Their officers are all keen and highly efficient. The ambulance services are very efficient; on Sundays and holidays an ambulance is on duty at Clacton Pier, it is to be hoped that a hut will be placed there.

At the Cork 1Iotor Races held 111 :'Iay, Supe~nlendent Anthony Downes and his DIvisio.n were responsib~e for the entJre FIrst .\id personnel and it is due to the enthusIasm and exceptlOnal or"anizing ability of Superint.endent Downes and DIVIsional Surgeon A.

The following members of my District received the Coronation Medal :-Assistant Commissioner A. J. Connor, Assistant Commissioner J. P. MacNamara, and Lady District Superintendent :'Iiss E. F. Blandford . It. is with deep regret I have to report the illness and death of our beloved Secretary -Miss Violet Sayer-Serving Sister of the Order of St. John, which occurred on 28th December. It is difficult to estimate the loss t.he Brigade here has sustained by the passing of Miss Sayer-Secretary to the Irish District since 1924, and also Secretary to the Irish Centre, St. John Ambulance Association. Miss Sayer's wise counsel was of inestimable benefit to the welfare of the St . John Ambulance Brigade in this country and she will be impossible to replace . Finally, I wish to once again pay tribute to the splendid, unselfish and highly efficient service rendered by my District Staff, and for the loyalty, assistance, and adVice they give me at all times. Especially would I like to mention the infinite trouble taken by my District Surgeons-Mr. Seton Pringle and Dr. A . T. ;'IcKay. The meetings of Divisional Surgeons convened and presided over by :'1r. Pringle have greatly increased the interest of our Divisional Surgeons. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN LU:lISDE.

Less popular in 'Vales is the scheme for Voluntary Aid Detachments, which differs from the aboye two Reserves inasmuch as enrolment is not confined to t. John members. Progress can be reported in the ounty of Breckno k, hO\vever, where the appointment of the Lady Pre ident for the Brecknock hire Centre as County Controller has been followed by the formation of three new Detachments. The 1 1ale and 8 Female St. John Detachments in ' Vales have a total strength of 218 and it is hoped that as the result of a special appeal for V.A .D. recruitment made to all Ambulance and Nursing Divisions at the commencement of 1938, a ·more progressi\'e note will figure under the aboye heading in my next report.

AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. The total award i ued to the 31st March, 193 , are 3G8 Grade 1, 26-1 Grade 2, 1,11 A.R.P., and G15 G.P. Certificate. Good advantage has been takcn of the excellent \reek-end Conrse arranged by the Chief Commi ioner in London, though the expen e inyolv d in travelling to and from London has deterred a greater \Yelsh participation. In selecting Briaade Officers for the Falfield our c the claims of .R.!. Officers in the re pective areas were considered; and fiye of the place~ allotted to \Vales were occupied by the nperintend nt of the lines Rescue tations at Aberaman, Brynmenin, Crumlin, Dinas (Portb), and ew Tredegar, who are rendering con-iderable en'ice in the organization, in truction, and examination of Brigade A.H.. P. la es in the respective di tricts. O,-er one hnndred Grade 1 and Grade 2 In trnctor gave up a week-end in August to perfect their knowledrre by attendance at a Refresher Course organized by the Priory Headquarter A .H..P. Staff Officer, Captain . B. Turner, :\I.R.C.S., L.H..C.P. Dr. \V. C. Bentall, O.B.E., A.R.P. taff Officer to the hief Commissioner, was good enough to addrc-s two meeting in D nbigh hire, where classes have since been held, and paid a second vi it to orth \Vales on the occasion of the combined in pection at Chirk Ca tIe, \Vb r his address was heard by a gathering represent.ing the Brigade in six counties and members of the general pnblic. A.H..P. Demon tration have become a feature at the annual inspection arranrred in the various counties; and the supply of respirator and protective clothing on loan to the Priory is in constant circulation.

BRIGADE ACTIVITIES. The number of cases of accid nt and , ickness tI at d by Bn~ad member according to records at Priory Hou e is 72, '95. Of thi total 2,581 were road accidents; and.l. Tursing member put in G!lS aU ndanc ' at Hospital and Clinics. Reference to the duties in connection with Medical Comforts Depots i inclnded under a separate heading. dozen First Aid Huts and 107 First Aid Po ts and Road ide boxes are main tain d by Brigade Division. Special mention hould be made of the n 'icec; being rendered by Ambulance and ITursing l\Iembers at l<iLt .l\id latione; erected on most of the beaches at the popular sea ide re art. At Barr , Glamorgan, the station was open daily during the whole of the holida season, during which time local Brigade members dealt \\ itll over 2,000 cases. The outstanding public duties of the year were tho e undertaken by 100 representative Brigade members who were privileged to attend for duty in Hyde Park on the memorable occasion of the oronation, while a large contingent of senior and junior member participated in the Review by Her Majesty the Queen in Hyde Park, which commenced the Brigade Silver jubilee celebrations. A great many Divisions have seen fit to persuade a number of members to participate in Hospital schemes for Blood Donors; and without any particular encouragement from Priory Headquarters considerable service is being rendered by this means.

CADET CAMPS. A second grant of £250 was received from King George's Jubilee Trust for Cadet Camping; and 100 Girl Cadets enjoyed a delightful week at Barry Island in the IIutments kindly placed at the Priory's disposal by the :rlamorgan Territorial Army and Air Force Association, under the able control of Lady County Officer :\ir .

HOXG KONG. The trength of the District has been increased by the formation of a new . . ·ursing Division during the year. A great strain has, undoubtedly, been thrown on our organization in Hong Kong by reason of the unsettled condition prevailing in the Far East. The work has been greatly increased by outbreaks of disease among the large numbers of refugees who have come into the Colony. IXDIA. The strength of the Brigade in India has shown a considerable growth. Twelve new Ambulance Divisions and six new Nursing Divisions have been formed and a new District has been created comprising the Central Province~ and knO\vn as the No.8 District.

the conclusion of the Indian tour was a visit they paid to Sleemanabada small town instituted by his grandfather, Major-General Sir William leeman, KC.B. (the famous suppressor of Thugee), 118 years ago. Here they were received by the entire population which met them a mile out of town and conducted them in triumph to Sleemanabad; affording a great testimony of the affection in which this Cornish family is held, and the gratitude of an Indian people. At l\lysore also there was another historic happening, for here the leemans were to gain contact with our Chancellor-Lieut.-General ir Aylmer Hunter-\ Veston, KC.B., D.s.o.-the first meeting between these two families in India for 81 years, although once so closely associated together in the suppres ion of Thugee.

John Ambulance Brigade Over eas, a the representative of Hi Royal Highne The Duke of onnaught, K.G., to in pect the establishment of the Order in India. pecial importance attaches to thi vi it owing to the long a ociation of Colonel Sleeman's family with thi country beginning with hi grandfather, :Jlajor-General Sir \Villiam leeman, K.C.B., popularly known as the suppre sor of Thugee, and to his wide experience of the work of the Association and the Brigade both at Home and in the Empire, he having recently concluded a tour in outh Africa, Rhodesia, New Zealand, and Australia. This vi it will provide an additional impetus to the humanitarian work being carried on in India by the A ociation, as personal contact with so di tingui hed a visitor cannot fail to impress the workers both at Headquarter and in the Province to take a greater interest in the extension of the work of the Order.

It proved a mo t strenuous tour which covered 37,1 1 mile of trav~l, and included 114 inspection, 183 peeche and addre e, 111 official reception, 8 "broadcct t ", and attendance at 197 conference. In India, the tour included Bombay, K arachi. netta, Lahore, PeshavYar, the Khyber Pa ,Kohat, D lhi (twice), ] aipur, Agra (twice), Fathpur Sikri, mbala, Rawal Pindi, G\\·alior. awnpor. Allahctbad.

THE ST. J OH

AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVER EAS.

"Thi is to say good-bye to you on your leaving Indian soil on the conclusion of your visitation. I am afraid the tour has been a very strenuous one and you will be looking forward to a well-deserved rest on the boat after Colombo. Your visit ha , however, greatly stimulated interest in the work of the Order in India, and I feel sure that your inspections and talks will result in an increase in the number of ambulance and nursing division in India and in a general growth of efficiency all round. Thank you very much indeed for the gre~t 'per onal interest you have shown in all our problems and for your unbnng work on our behalf. We shall try to take advantage of all your suggestion and hope to be able to show you good progress when you come back again, which we all hope will be soon. Once more very many thank for all you have done. It has been to me a very plea ant and valuable experience to have had this pe.r on~l contact with you and in every way I feel sure that your VI It WIll redound to the advantage of the Order, the As ociation, and Brigade in this Indian Empire. Miss Hill and the Headquarter taff ask to be a ociated with me in wishing you ' bon voyage'. Yours very sincerely, ( gd.) ER);,E T B URDO~, Chief Commissioner for the Em,pire of India." In Burma Colonel leeman in pected the fine Ea t Rangoon Ambulance Division of the Brigade and was fortunate enough to encourage the urma Ambulance Corps-a splendid body of well-uniformed and efficient ambulance workers-to transfer their allegiance to the Brigade and thi reinforcement should enable our work to pre ad rapidly throughout Burma and the han States. Unfortunatel there are, art, no ur ing Divisions of our Brigade in Burma, but the vi it of the Hon. lIr. oplandGriffiths-who is acting as the Representative of the Lad Superintendent-in-Chief-this cold weather should timulate uch formations-particularly as Burme e women make exceptionally good nurses. In Ceylon Colonel Sleeman inspected the magnificent ambulance members of the Brigade who are to be found in the ylon Police, o\rer 2,000 of whom (out of its total of 3,000) are member of the Brigade. In the course of the Ceylon tour he visited and in pected unit at Anuradhapura, Trincomalee, Jaffna, Colombo (three time ), Galle, K andy, Kurunegala, and other smaller places in mo t of which he al 0 saw the work of the Headmen controlling the First Aid work in over four hundred villages difficult of access to Europeans. At the conclusion of his visit he received the following letter from the Inspector-General of Police : " Dear Colonel Sleeman, On your departure from this Island I write on my own behalf and on behalf of all ranks of the Force who are members of the Ceylon Police Corps of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, to thank you very much indeed for the extremely thorough and encouraging manner in which you have carried out your inspections. Your personal interest which you have shown towards every member

of the Corps is bound to have its effect whilst all of us are tremendously appreciative and value the constructional nature of all your remarks. Wherever you have been you have instilled the sense of pride and a determination for future endeavour into the hearts of all Officers Inspectors, ub-Inspectors and other ranks, and I cannot adequately expres my gratification for the praise which you have given us. Personally I feel that I have made a staunch friend and one who will be behind me in my endeavours to expand and develop the work of the Order of t. John. Finally I thank you very much indeed for the immense trouble taken by you in your inspections of every unit in Ceylon and for the great per onal interest which you took in every member of the various detachment of the Brigade in pected. On behalf of the Force I wish you God peed and good luck for the remainder of your Tour. Y ours sincerely, (Sgd.) P. N. BAKKS, Acting Insp ector-General of Police ." At ingapore the fir t di appointment of the tour was experienced when Colonel leeman arrived to find that mall progress in regard to ambulance ervice had been made in thi most important strategic centre. However, during the cour e of hi vi it he was able to stimulate increased interest in thi ubject with the re ult that ince then great progress has been made. ctually within a few month of his visit several hundreds of prospective member were studying for their First Aid examinations, a fact which te tifie to the importance and value of such tours. Here it will be as well to point out that Colonel Sleeman is the first hief ommi ioner of the Brigade Overseas ever to visit the Dominions and olonie, which to some degree explains why a common standard of ambulance ervice had not been found possible before; while it will be obviou to all that greater value is obtained by visits such as these to pa~t where the ambulance service i poor than to those other parts where It I excellent. A t H ong Kong Colonel leeman had the pleasure of seeing all of the 700 ambulance men and ambulance sisters of the Brigade there. Efficient, keen and well-uniformed Chinese men and women (with a few of Indian and other nationalities) whose record for ambulance service has been xtremely high. In addition he vi ited the Hospital on the Island of Cheung Chau (twice) which contains 40 bed and is run by our Association. He aloin pected the clinics of the Order in the New Territories of Chinale~ ed for the protection of H ong Kong-which exi t at Sha Tin, Ta K wu Lmg, ha Tau Kok, Fang Lin, Kam Tin, Tun {un, Tseun Wan, Ha Tsun , each of which has a nursing staff of one, except in two places where there are two nur es, all of which are doing plendid service for a poor and most de erving type of Chine e. That no less than 150 000 treatments were given by these clinics of the Order in 1936 speaks fo~ itself. In the streets of. ~ong Kong by night Colonel Sleeman also inspected vaccination clIllIcs staffed by members of the Brigade which deal with thousands of free vaccination, while he also visited night-shelters for the" down and out" Chinese whose feet ores and other injuries are treated by members of the Brigade.

The Order has ju t cause to be immensely pro~d of the magnificent spirit of ambulance service shown by .the hmese m Hong Kong and ~f the energy and good work of our DIrector of Ambulanc tl~ere.

At Malta, that ancient· home of the Order, olonel l~eman. recel\Oed an equallv warm welcome as that offered him there dunng 111 tour of 1935-6.

He was also mstrumental m encouragmg the formation of units of the Brigade which-for 14 ye~r -have .cea ed to exist. As a consequence there is every hop~ that GIbraltar wIll ~ortly possess a sufficiency of ambulance and nursmg members of the Bn~ade.

THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER,

January, 1938.

T. JOHN AMBULANCE BRIGADE OVERSEAS. IR,

I have the honour to send you my report for the year ended 31st December, 1937. I am happy to say that 24 new Nursing Divisions and 8 new Cadet Nursing Divi ions have been formed during the year and several more in Burma, Malaya, and Ceylon are being formed as a result of the tour of my Representative-Acting Lady Di trict Officer The Hon. Mrs. CoplandGrjffith. The general standard of efficiency and usefulness is, as usual, teadily increasing. The past ear will stand out as one of the most important in the Hi tory of the Brigade and as one of the happiest for the Nursing Divisions of the Brigade Over ea in that Her Majesty The Queen-Commandantin- hief- wa graciou ly pI a ed, notwithstanding the Coronation and her endle oth r engagement, to show her appreciation and encouragement of the work that her Officers and Members are doing throughout the Empire and h r gratification with the services of the Brigade, by holding a Review in Hyde Park. The many functions, both official and private, 0 kindly arranged in connection with the Jubilee Celebrations of the Brigade were enjoyed by everyone and gave many opportunites for members from all parts of the Empire to meet and to di cu s the work. I would like to congratulate the outh Africa o. 2 team and the outh frica o. 1 team on their success at the Empire Competitions and al 0 ~Ii :JI. Flockhart of outh Africa on her great efficiency in winning the cup for the highe t mark gained in the individual test. The fact that thi cup was pre ented by the ub-Prior, The Earl of carbrough, will add con iderably to it value and to the satisfaction of winning it. The "Empire Day Dinner and Dance" was held at the \Vharncliff Room on 24th May, as this was the fir t occa ion that members from all part of the Empire were together in London on Empire Day it was felt that a " Reunion" of this de cription would help to strengthen the wonderful f eling of esprit de corps which i always so noticeable in the Brigade Over ea . ~fay I say, ir, how intensely grateful I am to my Officers and 1\1 mbers for the very lovely alver and the generous message inscribed upon it which they pre ented to me that evening. I shall always value it and their loyal support and help more than I can say. The special A.R.P. course, so wonderfully arranged, will be of the greatest a sistance in furthering the work in the Dominions; may I here mention that it was one of the Lady Diyisional uperintendents,

who, after qualifying for her Instructor's certificate (about two years ago), went back to Southern Rhodesia and was asked to start A.R.P. work there. No reference to this Cour e would be complete without thanking Dr. Bentall for the Address he gave at the end; it will remain an inspiration and an encouragement to all who heard it which they will never forget. On behalf of the Officers and 'lembers who had the privilege of taking part in the" Golden Jubilee" Celebrations and on my own behalf, I would like to express our most sincere appreciation and thanks for the wonderful arrangements that were made by tho e re ponsible. Every detail was thought out for our comfort and enjoyment a well as for our instruction. To my Officers and Members I would wish to extend my appreciation of their work and keennes. I fully realize that those who were not fortunate enough to be with us this year are equally upholding the tradition and high ideals of the Brigade. I am leaving in a few days for the \Ve t Indie and shall hope hortly to report to you, Sir, that Divisions have been formed in Jamaica. I have the honour to be, ir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) BEATRICE H . DENT,

Lady Superintendent-in-ChieJ.

The returns of the Divisions disclose that 2,265 cases were attended while on public duty, and 3,-4-41 whilst not on public duty. Thanks to a munificent gift from ir Charles :i\Ic_ ess, K.B., one of 'Western Australia's most ,generous benefactor, the members of Ambulance Divisions are being equipped With uniforms without cost to the Divisions. 150 .additiona~ unifo~m s werc provided during the year, a nd every membe~ upon complebD:g a year s effiCIent service. and who is available for public duty, is eqUipped.

members in thi District since its inception. There are 5 member in possession of two bars (22 years' service) and 8 members possess the 1st bar (17 years' service). At the close of the year a number of members of Railway Divisions formed in 1925 became entitled to their ervice Medals, which will now be applied for. It is with regret that I record the demise of the following Officers of the Brigade during the year, to whose relative our sympathy is extended : Divisional urgeon D. \V. H. ::'lackie, Tarrogin Railway Ambulance Division, 8th February, 1937 . Divjsional Superintendent C. E. Thoma, Lake \~iew and Star Ambulance Division, August, 1937 . On 24th June ( t. John's Day), members of the Di trict Staff who had been promoted in or admitted to the Order of t. John were invested at Government House by Hi Excellency, the Lieutenant Governor, ir James ::'litchell, K.C.lI1.G. On the following unday, t. John 's Day was fittingly celebrated throughout the District 'when members of the Brigade attended Church ervices at which the officiating clergy gave interesting addresses on the Order and its foundations. In this District, which comprises over one-third of the area of the ontinent of Australia, and where the Divisions are scattered all over the State, some a far distant as 700 miles from Perth, it is very difficult for me to personally inspect the whole of the Divisions each year, much as I should like to. However, as opportunity ha presented itself, a good number of the Divisions have been visIted, and I am pleased with the enthusiasm displayed, and the calibre of the men and women who have associated themselves with our great and unselfish work. I ha\"e been assisted in my inspectorial work by the District uperintendent, who e dube as ~ecretary of the Association enable him to visit country Centres from tIme to tllne. In anticipation of future Empire Brigade Competitions, It is mv intention to promote a competition amongst the Ambulance DiYisions m the DJstnct (luring the coming year, and to provide a Challenge up m connection WIth the competitlOn. I am hopeful that in the not too far distant future, It ,,,ill be pracbcable for the Nursing Divisions to also participate m a competitlOn. In concluding this report, I desire to place on record my deep appreciation of the co-operation of the members of the Dl trict Staff throug-hout th year. To the I 1\"1sional Surgeons, Officers and il1embers of the Di\"1 IOn. I tenuer my sinccre thanks for their keen interest in the work and the practical assi tance rendercd to the 'ommunity for which I feel sure the people generally are truly grateful.

In the Cadet section 6 boys attended for the inspection and:> for the examinatIon. Thirty-nine drills were held with an average attendance of ~~. 7-better than the Senior Division. Early in the year we lost the servIce of ~1r. :'lansbridge, the Cadet Superintendent who removed to Jamaica. mce January of this year there has been a fair attendance in this section under the writer' instruction . Generally speaking, 1937 has been very quiet for us but, ,,,hen po ible, the members have attended for drill and duties for which I am thankful.

A knowledge of First Aid is particularly useful to Police in districts ~here so many cases of serious injuries from personal violence occur at places far dIstant from a hospital. ..

with First id nnual Inspections by His Excellency the Governor, First Aid Competitions and Re-examinations. The Chief Commissioner commented most favourably on the manner in which the records of the Corps have been kept. Keeping the records of the drills done. the Re-examinations and attendance at the Inspection each vear of (in 1937-2,089) members from over 168 different stations, involves \,·ork which calls for a high standard of accuracy. 11r. vVeerasuriya has done this work for seven years. ~Iedical Officers throughout the Island have been most helpful in takmg Clas es in First Aid, in holding Refresher Courses and in holding annual re-examinations. The brunt of this work falls on the Police Suraeon (Dr. S. de \TO ) in Colombo . Some idea of the work involved may be gathered from the fact that this year the Police Surgeon has held Courses of instruction for 109 members of the Force to enable them to gain the First Aid Certificate on first appointment, has put 600 members of the Force through Refresher Courses and re-examined 992 men who hold First Aid Certificates. This work is entirely outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Police Surgeon. The thanks of the Force are due to Dr. S. de os for all he has done in instructing and training the members of the Ceylon Police Corps in First Aid. The thanks of the Force are also due to Dr. F. O'B. Ellison, Assistant Commissioner, St. John Ambulance Brigade, and to Dr. S. T. Guna ekera, Director of ::\Iedical and Sanitary Services, for all they have done for the Corps and also to other Medical Officers in the Provinces who have throughout the year prepared members of the Force for First Aid examinations and instructed other members q ualifyincy as efficient

CYPRUS.-\V. S. Culloch, Divi ional Police Division, reports : -

uperintendent of the Cyprus

The Government of Cyprus was again good enough to vote £50 towards First _\id instruction and equipment for the Police in 1937. This provision has rendered po sible the purchase of a considerable amount of First Aid equipment for the DivisIOn. On the 31st December, 1937, we had distributed among the vanou Police tatlons of the Colony, 37 Furley pattern stretchers, and 3 fitted hampers, sets of splmts, etc There is also at Headquarters in Nicosia a wheeled stretcher which is taken by the Police to Race Meetings and other similar function . A further sum of £50 has been included in the Police e timates for 193. The existence of First Aid materials in sufficient quantities is viewed as condUCive to a high standard of efficiency and a policy of providing the Division with such commodities will be pursued. The total membership of the Division increased during the year from 52 to 70. Of these, 58 members went through a refresher course of lectures and drills dunn~ the year. Five members failed to attend 12 drills dunng the year as laid down m the regulations. These will consequently not be considered as having been effiCient for the year. At the annual re-examination there were five absentees and four fail d to pass. In the year under review 31 members of the Cyprus Police DiviSion were issued with Badges after 3 years efficient service. A total of 36 sergeants and constables received a course of lecture and in trucbon during the first half of the year and, on conclusion, took the examination to qualify for the First Aid Certificate. Twenty-two passed the examination and they will be automatically enrolled in the Division. This will swell the members to 90, two of them having since been discharged from the Force. In the current year additional officers and men will take lectures to try to qualify for the certificate. A number of instances of good First Aid work by the Police have been reported during the year. A few of these cases are quoted here : In a stabbing affray, in which a clasp knife was made use of, two persons were seriously wounded. There was hc:emorrhage of the left lung and of the shoulder muscles. The Police arrived in time to render First Aid to the wounded. The hc:emorrhage was stopped and the doctor who attended to the patients expressed his appreciation of the proper and effective manner in which the cases had been handled. The skull of a man was fractured as a result of an assault. The wound was serious. The Police rendered First Aid on the spot and the patient was soon afterwards safely removed to hospital where the doctor in attendance reported in highly appreciative terms on the nature of the First Aid that had been given by the Police in this case. In a motor car accident a man "was seriously wounded with a compound fracture

of the arm-bone. He had a profuse arterial hc:emorrhage in the arm. The Police on arrival at the scene applied a tourniquet and su~ceeded in ar:-estin.g the h.c:emorrhage. A man who had attempted to take his own hfe by throwlllg hIm~elf llltO the. sea was removed from the water in an unconscious condition. The PolIce were notIfied and immediately a party was dispatched to the scene. Artificial respiration was promptly performed and when breathing was restored the man was removed to hospital on a Police stretcher. . . . After the Annual First Aid Re-examination of members of the DIVISIOn, the Divisional Surgeon, Dr. C. C. H. Cuff, O .B.E., who examined all the candidates was so good as to report as follow : .. The results are very satisfactory and reflect great credit on all concerned." The Force is greatly indebted to Dr. Cuff for his very valuable assistance and the trouble he has taken over examinations and instruction. They are also most grateful to the Director of Medical Services for the willing and ready support he has extended to them at all times. The thanks of the Force are also due to the Medical Officers who have sacrificed a great part of their leisure to give lectures to and instruct the Police in First Aid.

REPORTS FROM DOML IONS,

INDIA.- ir Ernest Burdon, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., I. C.S., Chief Commissioner for the Empire of India, reports : The Brigade in India has made very encouraging progress during 1937. Altogether 21 new Divisions have been formed while a number of others are in process of formation. This rapid progress is no doubt attributable in part to the interest aroused during the tour of Colonel J. L. Sleeman, Chief C?mmissioner of the Briga~e Overseas, and to his insistence that India is still ill equIpped to meet emergenCIes, the goal to be aimed at being at least one Ambulance Division in every city. \Ve are still far from that goal but have now 137 Ambulance and . ur~ing Divisions, with a to~al personnel of 4,014 officers and members. Progress IS chiefly hampered by finanCial considerations as each new Division means a considerable outlay for uniform and equipment. The headquarters grants from the Silver jubilee Fund, small though they are, have undoubtedly been a factor in increasing the number of Divisions. Colonel Sleeman's T'isit.-In the report for 1936 Colonel Sleeman's tour of inspection was described up to the end of that year. From Gwalior where we left him at the end of the year, he proceeded to Cawnpore and Allahabad, where he had a discussion with H.E. the Governor in regard to ambulance activities in the United Provinces, A short holiday for slnkar in the -epal Terai followed, after \o\'hich he returned to Lucknow where he witnessed the Provincial Ambulance Competitions. From there Colonel Sleeman proceeded to Patna, where he inspected No . IX Patna Training School Ambulance Division and the Patna Collegiate School Cadet Division, and discussed the formation of Division at Patna Medical College, Calcutta was reached on 1 th January, and here the Chief Commissioner had a very full programme, including inspections at headquarters, No . VI (East Indian Railway) District at Lillooah, where competitions were also held, the Provincial Ambulance ompetit.ions when H.E. the Governor distributed the trophies, a visit to the. F~st AId Road tations, inspection of the Calcutta Police Corps and Bengal Sub-Dlstnct at Belvedcre, and many other engagements. From alcutta Colonel Sleeman proceeded to Rangoon where he inspected the Burma Ambulance Corps and the East Rangoon Divi ion of the Brigade, and had important discus ions with H,E. the Governor and other officials about the future of Brigade work in Burma after separation. The next journey was a return to Tew Delhi where the Chief Commissioner was the guest of H.E. the Viceroy, attended the U-India Scout Jamboree and met Lord and Lady Baden Powell, visited the Delhi Provincial Centre of the Association, and had further conferences at headquarters \vith the Chief Commissioner for the Empire of IndIa and other officials. Here also Colonel leeman gave a broadcast talk on .. Two \\ orks of humanity! The suppression of Tlzugee and the St. John Ambulance Brigade ". On 5th February Colonel lee man left Delhi finally for the Central Provinces, where he visit.ed jubbulpore, leemanabad, and Tagpur, and in the latter place inspected the Police, H.ailway and ollege Dlvi ions of the Brigade, and addressed a ladies' meeting on the necessity for an increase in the nursing service. In l\Iadras, which he reached on 12th February, Colonel Sleeman stayed at Government Hou e, attended the Provincial mbulance Competition, inspected the Madras orps of the Brigade, and had numerous discussions \\rj.th officials. His final visits were to Bangalore, where he in. pected the units of No. V District and visited the Kolar Gold Fields where he inspected all the Ambulance arrangements in the ~Iines, and to illysore, where his visit cOlllcided with that of Lieut.-General Sir Aylmer and Lady Hunter \Yeston, Chancellor of the Order. The Chief Commissioner for Overseas terminated his Indian tour at Madras on 20th February, whence he proceeded to Ceylon. During his Indian tour his total engagements were 3 6, including 70 inspections and parades, 114 speeches and addresses,S banquets and receptions, 140 meetings and conferences, and 4 broadcasts. These figures speak for themselves and bear testimony to the outstanding energy, enthusiasm and physical health of our Chief Commissioner. The Brigade in Inllia is indeed grateful to him for the stimulation and encouragement he gave to all units in India and for his helpful advice and criticism. His official report, of which copies have been distributed all over India, contains this striking passage which all should take to heart ; " India to-day is most gravely short of both Ambulance, ursing and Cadet Divisions of our Brigade and also V. .D. formations, for grave is the only term applicable to a condition in which over 50 cities and important towns in India are without ambu lance service of any kind whatsoever."

A total of 152 members 'were examined, 140 pa sing the examination. All are serving members of the Kenya I olice. The membership at the close of the year i the highe t yct recordcd. :;\lembers of the Divi ion are by reason of their duties as police officers stationed at various stations throughout the Colony . Divisional examinations and re-examinations were conducted at cighteen centres during the year. Captain G.

Pritchard Brown, Divi ~ ional uperintendent. The Division has again to record its deep gratitude for the ready and valuable assistance given in instruction and examination by both Government :\Iedical Officers and private practitioners throughout the Colony. It i deSired to mention particularly the name of Dr. J. A. Carman, the Divisional urgeon, and Dr I' . \V Vint in this connection. They have both been un paring in the help and tIme they have devoted to the First Aid "'ork of thi Division. Instruction of the African rank and file of the Force ha continued and they have obviously benefited from the classes of instruction in " Fir t .-\ld " attended by them. Forty-one Africans now possess" First id" certificate. \ \ 'hen the Bngade was registered in 1928 no African in Kenya had obtained a certificate. It I a striking feature in connection with this progress-the ignificance of which i not perhap. fully appreciated-tha t the e members ofthe Division were, prior to j o III Ing the Force. living under conditions which 'were not far remo\'ed from barbarim. Treat credit is due to Ir. C. A. Christian, Depot Instructor, for the care and patience he has exercised over a number of year in training African police in Flr~t \ld HIS unfailing interest has undoubtedly resulted in the not inc on iderable ad\'ance that has been made. During the year :\1r. G. R. Gribble. Actlllg .\ ltant uperintendent of Poltce. and Assistant Inspector of Police, \Y .

Two reports are of particular interest ; (a) During the evening of the 16th July, 1937, in order to obtain warmth. it being particularly cold, the wife of an African police constable at H.ulru Police Station, near Nairobi, placed a brazier containing burnin lY charcoal 111 the r om occupleu by her family and closed the door and windo\\'. Her female chtld ag-ecl two year;; \\'as sleeping in the room. At about 10 p.m. the child \\'a5 examined by her mother, \\hen signs of life appeared absent and the mother a sumed death had been ca used by asphyxia through inhaling noxious fumes from charcoal. he therefore. in accordance with the native custom in regard to dead bodies, remo"ed the child from the room and placed it on the ground in the vicinity of the quarters. In con equence of mental excitement she then lost command of her feeling and action, suffering from an acute attack of hysteria. Sub-Inspector Hargopal Rai Varma, the Indian subordinate police officer in charge of Ruiru Police station and a member of the Kenya Police Ambulance Division, was summoned by the commotion created by the mother and proceeded to the spot, where he found the child lying on the ground, apparently lifeless and with no noticeable pulse. He at once placed the child in a prone position on her back a.nd commenced

artificial respiration by flexing the legs towards the chest, while he obtained the assistance of two African constables, who, acting upon his instructions, energetically rubbed the child's arms towards the heart. Artificial respiration was performed perseveringly until breathing was restored some two hours later. The Sub-Inspector then wrapped the child in puttees and blankets, surrounding it with improvised hot water bottles, while smelling salts were applied. The child revived by 1 a.m. that night and has made a complete recovery. It will be appreciated that in a child of such tender years it was not possible to use the modified form of Schaffer's method of artificial respiration, but the SubInspector applied a method he had observed being used by a doctor on another occasion. Sub-Inspector Varma performed a very signal act in demonstration of the value of the trainina he has received as a member of the Division and by his initiative, diligence and skill restored the life of the child. He has been awarded a Meritorious First Aid ertificate by the mbulance Committee. In the second instance a member of the Division gave First Aid treatment and rendered relief to persons in sickness, suffering and distress ; (b) l\Ir. K. Cleland, an Assi tant Superintendent of Police, and a member of the Kenya Police Ambulance Division, stationed at l\Iarsabit in the Northern Frontier Di trict of thi Colony, a station several hundred miles from medical facilities, early in July was unexpectedly confronted with the problem of providing for large bands, totalling approximately 7,500, of disease infested fugitives from Ethiopia. The refugees, unfortunate victims of the situation which has arisen in their own country, sought sanctuary by entering Kenya in the inhospitable territory east of Lake Rudolph, an arid area of barren lava rock and great stretches of desert and devoid of communications, while water was only available in limited quantities at scattered well or pools. Upon receipt of information that an incursion of refugees had occurred, Mr. Cleland proceeded to the scene and located parties scattered over a large area. He found men. women and children truggling over the lava rocks or through the sand in the last stage' of exha.u tion. :\Iany had fallen by the way, but he was able to collect and convey them to camps he formed near water holes. There ,,'as an acute shortage of fooel but supplies were obtained and distributed. In face of great difficulties and condition. of a 'mgularly unpleasant nature he evolved order and brought succour to these mobs of men, women and children, whose past sufferings and privations and the present toll of cleath from di ease had reduced to a state of self-helpless despair. are of the sick was of major importance and he soon found that they existed in large number. Ca es of confluent small-pox were numerous, ,,'hilst many were suffering from typhus, typhoid, dysentry and relapsing fever. There was no grass and only the scantiest of thorn bushes around which family groups camped seekmg protection from the burning sun. uch conditions resulted in the weak and sick getting little or no water or other assistance, as ordinary feelings of humanity amongst the refuaee were conspicuously absent. ~Ir. Cleland, ably as istecl by his few .\.frican polIce, visited the sick and gave them water and dressed their sores, a duty performed unceasingly until medical assistance arrived some time later. On another occasion when ;\[r. Cleland was returning from Torth Horr to ),Iarsabit in the .1. orthern Frontier District in a lorry, in which he was a passenger and which contained a number of native police, the vehicle overturned. All the occupants were badly shaken, a number su tained cuts and bruises. In spite of a cut on his head, which was bleeding profusely, ~1r. Cleland made the others comfortable and then walked by himse.lf to lIarsabit, a distance of thirteen miles and occupying 3t hours' march. He obtallled a lorry, returned to the scene of the accident, himself rendered " First Aid" and removed the patients to ::\Iarsabit. The standard of conduct displayed by:Vir. Cleland on these t\'fO occasions in rendering " First Aid" and succouring the sick and injured was of an exceptionally high order, having regard to the circumstances and the remoteness of the locality. His action provides a worthy contribution to the fulfilment of those humanitarian tasks which must ever be the duty of members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade. Outside the activities of the" Kenya Police Ambulance Division" of the Brigade, Euror~an a~d Asiatics-employees of the Kenya and Uganda Railways and Harbours AdmmlstratlOn-attended First Aid instruction classes in Nairobi and l\lombasa.

A~1BULA CE BRIGADE OYER EA . SOUTHER

AFRICA .

Extract from the report of the Commandery Commi ioner to the Commandery Chapter : His Excellency the Knight Commander, Sir Patrick Duncan, G.C. I.G., K.C., l.L.D., conducted the annual inspections of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions of the Transvaal and .A.R.&H. Divisions of the Brigade on the Reef Arc~ at Ellis Park, Johannesburg on 31st October, 1937-one of the largest combined inspections which has been held. His Excellency was accompanied, during the inspection of the ur ing Divisions, by Her Excellency Lady Duncan, D.ST.]., Lady Superintendent-in- hief of the I ursing Divi ions within the Commandery. At the conclu ion of the inspection, His Excellency formally presented to the Colour Party the Brigade tandard generously donated by ::'IIajor-General Sir John Duncan, K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O., D.S.O., K.ST.]., Chief Commissioner of the Brigade at Home, to the Transvaal District. The Con ecration of the tandarcl was carried out jointly by the , -ery Re\'erend \V. A. Palmer, Dean of Johannesburg, and the Reverend B . J. farais, Dutch Reformed Church. General Duncan had previously handed over thi Standard to the Secretary, Mr. A. M. Anderson, at a large gathering of the Brigade Over ea' a sembled in the Great Central Hotel, London, during the 'pecial Course 111 Air Raid PrecautlOns lectures held there at the time of the Brigade Jubilee Celebration. General Duncan's special message-"\\'hich accompanied the tandard-was engraved on \'ellum, suitably bound, and presented to His Excellency the Knight Commander, who read it as follows : " In the same way as an Officer's sword represent his honour, the, tandard of a Regiment represent its honour and it is protected and treated as such. In pre entmg this Standard of the St. John Ambulance Brigade to the Transvaal Dl ·trict of the Brigade I am com'inced that all members of that District will guard and respect thIS Standard as they would guard and respect their own honour." The proceedings were broadcast to a large assembly which included HIS "'orship the 1\Iayor of Johannesburg, Defence Representatives and many leadll1g Citizens. One of the most notable of our Brigade activities dunng the year was the large representation which represented the CommandeI)' at the Brigade Jubilee Celebrations in London . Until the arrival, from China, of the Chief ommi sioner I acted for him in that capacity. I was accompanied by my Staff Officer, 1\Ir. Alex :'-1. Ander:;on (who also acted as Staff Officer to the Chief Commissioner of the Brigade O\'erseas), and by a contingent numbering ISO-by far the largest representation from any section of the Brigade Overseas. Major A. V. Knox, District Superintendent C.G.H. District, was m charge of the contingent, and :Mrs. E. G. Slade, Lady District uperintendent. Transvaal Distri(.t (who also acted as Staff Officer to the Lady Supenntendent-in-ChICf), was ID charge of the Nursing Division members. Her Majesty The Queen, whom we are honoured to have as our ommandant-inChief of the ursing Divisions, held a Review of the Brigade in Hyde Park on 22nd May and was thereafter graciously pleased to issue a message WlllCh has been conveyed to all concerned. Her :i\1ajesty, previous to the Review, graciou ly received and congratulated a number of Brigade representatives who had extended service and we are all proud of the fact that one of our valued members, District Officer A. J. G. Inglis, .A.R.&H. District, who has 33 years Brigade service to his credit, was so honoured. Our Ambulance and ~ursing Division teams again distingUIshed themselves by gaining second place in their respective sections in the Empire First Aid Competitions at the Great Central Hotel on 21st l\Iay, while the honour in the \Yomen's Individual Test was also carried off by one of our members. It is impossible to describe adequately the magnificent hospitality shown and the lavish arrangements made for our entertainment and I gladly record, personally, and on behalf of all who were privileged to participate in many memorable events during this period, our very sincere appreciation and thanks to all concerned, especially to the Chief Commissioner, Colonel J. L. Sleeman, C.B., C.M.G., C.B.E., M.V.O., the Lady Superintendent-in-Chief, 1\1rs. Lancelot Dent, A.R.R.C., the Staff Officer, Captain A. N. Cahusac, M.C., and all our good friends at St. John's Gate. K.ST.].,

REPORTS FROM DOMINIONS.

Accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel P. Allan, D.D.M.S., representing the Director of Medical Services, I inspected the combined Ambulance and Nursing Divisions of the C.G.H. and S.A.R.&H. Districts in the Cape Province and found a very hi gh standard of efficiency. Inspections in other Districts were carried out by the Officers in charge of the Districts concerned and all reports testify to the all-round efficiency of our members and record an increasing amount of Public Duty admirably rendered. ::\Iany reports of outstanding First Aid treatment-which have received special commendation-have been received during the year from the B . . A. Police in the extreme north of the Commandery area, in the Railway District (which covers the Union and South-v\: est Africa) and throughout the Province. I have to record my special thanks to :\Iajor D. B. Strachan, Acting Director of ~Iedical ervices, Bloemfontein, for the very considerable assistance he gave the Brigade in the Orange Free State District following the retirement of the Very Reverend Dean \Veekes from the position of Assistant Commissioner, but which, unfortunately, :'-Iajor trachan was unable to continue. This office has now been filled by ::'IIr. H. H. Greenwood who has had considerable experience of Brigade routine. Through the courtesy of Colonel H. E. Cluver, Director of ~Iedical Services, we are no'" permitted to send five. Tursing Divisions' members for one month's special training in ~IilItary Ho pital Administration at the :\Iilitary Hospital, Roberts HeIghts. 0 eagerly is this privilege sought for that the quota is booked up months ahead. The pecial training provides a splendid opportunity for our members to materially further their knowledge and pass it on to their respective Divisions. At the conclusion of the course an examination is held and the Special Certificate awarded IS highly prized. I desire to record my incere thanks to the Director of ::'IIedical Services for this privllege and would specially thank the Officer commanding the :Military Hospital and the ~Iatron for their personal interest and many kindnesses they have shO'wn to our members. The personnel of the Brigade continues to increase-notably in the Transvaal DI tnct where the member hip is fully 1,000 strong. ;'Iajor J. J, Kruger has ucceeded the late :'-1r. E. R. Carney, who \\'as Assistant ComrnisslOner supervising the Pretoria area, and the Commissioner now has ;"Iajor J. ::'II. \\'att as _-1.. i -tant ommissioner at District Headquarters. There I a welcome increase in the Cadet Section-the future recruiting ground for adult DivIsion. The personnel of the Brigade within the Commandery area (including Cadets) no\\' total 5,370. The annual Brigade ompetitions for the" Selbourne" Shield and "Alpheus \\'llliam " (IndIVIdual) Trophy, the" Hewat" hield and" Florence Thompson" (Indl'\'Jdual) Ho e BO\d, and the" Lady Price" Trophy for Invalid Cookery were held mape Town on 6th ~ -o\'ember and all sections showed a creditably high tandard. The large number of appreciative references ,,'hich from time to time appear in the Press and at tbe respective Di trict Headquarters, testify to the excellent services rendered so ably and 0 \\illingly by our Brigade members and I have to express my appreCIation and thanks to all Officers in charge of Districts and to all Officers and member of all Ambulance and Nursing Divisions for the splendid manner in which they have co-operated in furthering the work for which the" vYhite Eightpomted Cross" stands.

H OSPITAL

REPORT,

1937.

Report of the C0111mittee for

193 7. THE Hospitaller and the Committee of the Ophthalmic Hospital have the honour to submit their Forty-sixth Report for the information of His Royal Highness the Grand Prior, the Chapter-General and its subscribers. Your Committee has heard with the deepest satisfaction that H.M. The King and H.M. The Queen have both graciously consented to sign the photograph of their Majesties which is to be placed in the Hospital, where it will join the photographs or prints of Queen Victoria, Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, George V and Queen Mary, and H.R.H. The Duke of Connaught, Grand Prior. These pictures are always of great interest to visitors as well as to the thousands of patients who pass through the Hall where they are hung. Consequent on the resignation by Major N. G. Richards of the office of Hon. Secretary to the Committee owing to pressure of other work, H.R.H. the Grand Prior has been pleased to appoint Mr. Humphrey Ernest Bowman, C.M.G., C.B.E., to succeed him. Mr. Bowman was Director of Education in the Government of Palestine from 1920 till his retirement in 1937. He was also a Member of the Advisory Council of the High Commissioner from 1920. He is well acquainted with the Hospital and his experience of Palestine will be invaluable to the Hospital ommittee whose members have extended to him a hearty welcome. There ha been no change either in the Surgical or Nursing Staff during the ear under review, but Miss Simpson, the Secretary, after two and a half years service has retired from her post and returned home. In spite of the unsettled condition of the country the number of new out-patient, 21,367, constitutes a record, as do the out-patient attendances, which amount to the remarkable total of 108,616. The number of in-patients, 907, is on the contrary below the return of the years preceding 1936, and this holds good also of the number of operations performed. The table printed at the end of this Report showing the total figures for the year are, of course, not comparable with those of 1936 when the" troubles" lasted for six months, from April to October. The Annexe has been full as usual and during the conjunctivitis sea on there was an average of 100 persons daily occupying the arcades .0£ the I han. It is with the greatest regret that your Committee has to report the first death of a patient, a boy 10 years of age, in the Hospital since its opening in 1883. The post-mortem showed that there was a general enlargement of the glands with a very much enlarged thymus. Death under an ancesthetic was practically inevitable and this condition can not be diagnosed during life. No blame is, therefm:e, attachable t o the Hospital Staff. THE HOSPITAL AS IT IS AT PRESE T SHOWI G ITS GROWTH FRO f ITS SMALL BEGI I G.

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

REPORT

Certificates have been earned, and will be presented, on the earliest opportunity, to the following Palestinian Nurses who have taken a Course in ophthalmology in the Hospital :Linda Haddad Vahanohi A vizian Rose Kalian Olombia Haddad Najla Musallem Laurence Mitri. Lulu Cubeisy In order to promote interest where there is no Commandery in the work of the Order in Palestine, Chapter-General has sanctioned the appointment of Deputy Hospitallers in the Australian tates. The following appointments have so far been made. South Australia.-Dr. S. L. Dawkins, O.B.E., K.ST.]. Queensland.-Captain E. R. B. Pike, C.ST.]. Western Australia.-Dr. H. G. Tymms, K.ST.]. The Assistant Hon. Secretary for Scotland, ir Colin MacRae, 11d ' formed a Committee to assist him in his work of making the history and objects of the Order, especially its work in Palestine, better known in Scotland. The following are the names of the Committee: ir Colin MacRae (Chairman), Lady Margaret lacRae, O.B.E., Colonel . de \\'. Crookshank, D.L., Charles Stewart, and :J,lacGillivray of MacGillivray, D.SC., LL.D., Memorials to Dr. and Mrs. Cant and to Lady vVatson have taken the form of inscriptions on the walls of the Hospital. By a fortunate chance Mr. Eric Gill, A.R.A., who happened to be visiting Pal tine, was per uaded to give his services and he composed the wording and drew the lettering and himself cut most of the inscription for Lady \Vat on's memorial, beneath which is a stone seat designed by if. . t. Barbe Harri on, F.R.I.B.A., Architect in the Department of Public \Vork of the overnment of Palestine. For the Cant memorial, cut on the wall in the Inner ourt, :\Ir. Eric Gill drew the lettering and superintended the work of the stone-mason who did the cutting. The Hospital is thus the richer for the work of a distinguished epigraphist which will be shown with pride to future visitors as long as the building lasts. The thanks of the Committee are also due to 1\1r. Harri on for his share of the Watson memorial. He knew Lady " ratson well, and his work was done as a free-will offering. A Tablet to commemorate the visit to the Hospital of H.R.H. the Princess Royal will be placed in a suitable position in the Hospital when completed. It has been designed on the lines of the memorial tablets in the Palace in Malta by Mr. C. Micallef of the Public Works Department, and is being executed under the superintendence of the Chevalier Scicluna, M.B.E., C.ST.]., Librarian of the Malta Library. Its co t is being generously defrayed by Lady Strickland, D.B.E. Chapter-General also authorized the placing of the arms of FieldMarshal the Viscount Allenby and of Field-Marshal the Viscount Plumer on the wall of the Annexe. The two shields are side by side in the place of honour on the east wall facing the old Hospital Building which both of them knew so well. The usual St. John's Day Service was held in the subterranean

Hospitaller Church in the precincts of the old Muristan and was well attended by members of the Order and their friends. Thanks are due to the Acting Orthodox Patriarch for his kind permission to hold this service annually. It has now finally been decided to build the new Block for Paying Patients and for the Physico-Therapeutic Department on the south side of the Hospital. This is recurring to the original plan. It certainly is a more convenient site than either the one next the Annexe, which had to be abandoned owing to the prohibitive price asked by the Orthodox Church Finance Commission, or the site in the Far Field or Olive yard, which was 125 yards from the Hospital. This latter had to be abandoned owing to the municipal authorities threatening to carry a new road right across the property, which would have cut off the proposed new Block from the Hospital. Meanwhile negotiations are proceeding for an exchange of land between the Order and the Wakf proprietors of the neighbouring plot, which, if effected, will give the \Varden's Lodge protection from being overlooked by buildings less than 50 yards away and the other party a road frontage which it does not now possess. Both sides should benefit if the deal can be brought to fruition. The appeal for funds for the new Block, which was sanctioned by H.R.H. the Grand Prior, has now been closed. The amount received when the final list was posted at the end of the year totalled £10,178 ls. lld. ince then further donations have been received which are acknowledged on p. 23 under the heading (/ Jubilee Appeal Fund" and bring the total up to £10,528 4s. l1d. Your Committee has now to consider the Architect's propo als which are awaited with interest. The need for the n w Block i proved once again by the considerable number of Army and R.A.F. personnel treated in 1937, in addition to many official. of the Tran_-Jordan Frontier Force and the Palestine Government, including Rriti h Police, and European monks and nuns. Full particulars are given in the \rarden' Report, page 11. The Annexe is to be fenced with a boundary wall and the caretaker's flat improved by the addition of an open-air room facing the east with a view towards the fountains of Moab. A light earthquake shock towards the end of the year opened up the cracks in the roofs, and all, with the exception of the large dispensary roof which had already received special asphalt treatment, leaked badly during the November rains. The question of treating all the roofs with a phalt is now receiving the attention of your Committee. ir Horace Rumbold, Vice-Chairman of the Palestine Royal Commi sion, and Lady Rumbold, D.ST.]., both visited the Hospital. Lady Rumbold wrote, " Sir Horace visited the Ophthalmic Hospital and was mo t impressed by the work done there. I, too, paid a most interesting \'i it to the lovely Hospital and Sir J ohn Strathearn was most kind in showing me everything. I should think it is the finest piece of British propaganda in the East. The Hospital seems to be well equipped and so efficient that I think the Order has every reason to be proud of it." ir Harold Morris, K.C., C.ST. ]., another member of the Palestine Royal Commission, wrote, " I am very pleased to have had an opportunity of vi iting the Hospital :md I took away with me a firm impression that it

OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL

was being run most efficiently and doing splendid work in Palestine. This view of mine was amply corroborated by all whom I met while I was out there and to whom I spoke of the Hospital and its work. I was delighted with all I saw at the Hospital, particularly the patients in the wards. I had no doubt that they were happy and contented and very grateful for all that was being done for them. Sir John trathearn was greeted with smile and word of thanks wherever he went." The Hon. John Bruce, the Principal ecretary for the Priory for Wales, received the following testimony from 1\1r. Abraham Hauser, who wrote, " My wife and I spent a most useful two hours at the t. John H;ospital. It is really doing marvellous work. You should feel proud of the Hospital and excellent Staff, together with the amazing c1eanline s." Lastly, this is how the Ho pital struck an offic r in the N. taffordshire Regiment. " ir John took me all over it and I had no idea how interesting it was. The old Turkish House and the new building on the foundations of the one blown up during the \Var : the numerous memorials and mementoes, useful and artistic, and the arrangements made for the patients were all of unusual interest." Lord Lytton paid a visit to the Ho pital in November and discussed several important matter with the \Varden. On hi return he submitted a valuable and very helpful Report to the Committee, for which hi colleagues have expressed their sincere thank . Your Committee would express to Mr. picer, C.1LG., LC., C.ST.J., the late Inspector-General of Palestine Police and an enthu ia tic upporter of the Order, its very sincere congratulations on his miraculou e cape from assassination in June. "Eleven shot were poured into m r car at point blank range and not one of them hit me. My Briti h onstable driver is not dangerously wounded." The Hospital Staff duly and loyally carried out their oronation festivities and the money granted was found sufficient to provide three proper flag-poles for the Hospital which were fixed by the GO\'ernment Department concerned free of cost. The electric lighting, heating, and power supply of the Ho pital, Annexe, and \Varden's Lodge has now been transferred to the Jcru alem Electric Corporation. The old private engine and battcries were worn out. The net cost of the transfer was £102 12s., and a fiat rate has now been agreed on for the supply of light, heat, and power which i considered a reasonable one. The whole of the new electric installation will be surveyed monthly by an expert electrician at a charge of £2 per month. The path to the Warden's Lodge from the road is now properly lit upa long delayed but necessary improvement as the approach to the Lodge is difficult and dangerous for guests reaching his house after dark. Your Committee once again expresses its grateful thanks to the Overseas Commanderies for their financial support and interest. From ew Zealand the Hospitaller, Mr. C. J. Tunks, M.B.E., K.ST.J., has forwarded £59 14s. lld., an increase of £22 6s. 7d. compared with last year. The Archbishop of New Zealand, a Sub-Prelate of the Order, preached at the Parade Service on St. John's Day, in Auckland, and the Bishop of Wellington did the same at the Parade Service in \;Yellington. The Commandery in Southern Africa, T. H. Watermeyer, K.ST.J., Hospitaller, has increased its donations by £16 lOs 6d. to £51 13s. 6d. From the

REPORT

Canadian Commandery has come the sum of £90 6s. 7d. which is hereby acknowledged, but it arrived too late to go into the accounts for the financial year ending on 30th September. Lady Strathearn, our Hon. Treasurer in Jerusalem, has done wonderfully, and is deserving of heartiest congratulations in her initial year of office by remitting £222 13s. 4d. Particulars of these amounts are printed at the end of this Report. The thanks of your Committee are cordially extended to the following for gifts received during the last twelve months: Anonymous, a parcel of books for the Hospital Library; through Mrs. Tweedale, C.B.E., A.R.R.C., D.ST.J., the sum of £19 collected at the Drumhead Service of the o.

The Warden's Report for the Year 1937. The recrudescence of civil disturbance in Palestine which marred 1936 continued almost unabated throughout the year 1937. Acts of terrorism and sabotage were of daily occurrence and the publication of the eagerly awaited report of the Royal Commission did nothing to relieve the tension; indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that it led to a general worsening of the situation. As a con equence, the military and the police forces imposed many restrictions on travel by road and this, added to the natural disinclination of mo~t people to travel on road_ ever open to ambush, interfered markedly with the normal flow of patient to the Hospital. In the circumstances a marked decrease in the Hospital attendances might have been exp cted; but on the contrary, there wa a decided increa e. This is accounted for by the greater number of 10c<1.1 people who attended in the absence of our u ual crowd of fellahin ; i l can be recognized that a waiting room crammed with pea ants i a deterrent to townspeople who call on the chance of receiving quick attention. Further, as there was no member of the taff absent on home leave we were able to work without restriction. The number of new patients seen during 1937 was 21,369 and the total consultations 108,616. The number of new patients admitted to Hospital was 907 and the number of operations performed 2,749. This total includes 508 intraocular operations, of which 247 were for cataract. There were 1,618 operations for the relief of trichia i ; most of these eyelid operations were done on out-patients. During aU operations local ancesthesia is preferred, but for various rea ons a general ancesthetic was administered in 275 cases. The average of tay in Hospital \\ as fourteen days. Classified according to religion, of the new cases 16,215 were 10 lem ; 4,251 were Christians, and 903 were Jews. Of the total consultation 86,723 were Moslems, 18,973 were Christians, and 2,920 were Jews. It is of interest to note that in spite of the continual unrest and Arab] ewisb antagonism the number of ] ews attending last year showed a decided increase; the percentage rate of Jews to others having practically doubled itself. This is the more surprising when it is remembered that so deep-seated is the antagonism that it is almost impossible to get Jewish workmen to come to the Hospital to effect repairs, etc., in spite of the great amount of unemployment and stagnation of trade. Further, throughout the year we were seldom without at least one Jewish inpatient; and still more remarkable was the circumstance that during a period of acute inter-racial tension and reprisals we had two ]ewi h tradesmen as in-patients; in order to avoid even the chance of an untoward incident they were offered separate accommodation in a small ward; this was declined and they remained in the main male ward on good terms with their Arab fellow-patients. It is admitted that such a circumstance proves nothing and may be regarded only as a further illustration of the humanizing effect of Hospital in-patient treatment or, indeed, as an exemplification of the proverb that" adversity makes strange bed-fellows". The incidence of trachoma amongst the new patients was 85·82 per cent. This is the lowest hitherto recorded in this Hospital. Last year

it was 93·4 I?er cent and i~ 1935 it was 92 per cent. Unfortunately this bet~erment IS ~o be explarn~d by the temporary change in the type of patIent attendmg the HospItal. As explamed at the beginning of this report the prolonged disturbances have, to a large extent, cut off from us the Ara~ population of .the numerous villages in the Hebron, TabIus, and] enm areas and theIr place in our out-patient department has been ta~{en by the ~nhabitar:ts of ] erusalem and the larger towns served by the rallway. It IS recogmzed that trachoma is a disease associat.ed \;vith a backward. civilization and impoverished living conditions; and the apparent lmprovement in t.he incidence of trachoma is no more than a restatement of the fact that trachoma is less common amongst the townspeople than amongst the peasants. . .... Of t.he ~,1,3?9 n,~~ cases, 2,028 were" blind" in one eye (9·5 per cent) ; ,05 were blmd m both (3'5 per cent~; and the number of individuals who .were " blind" in one"or ?ot~ ~ye; was 2,733 (12'7 per cent). As in prevlOus rel?orts the. term blmd mcludes not only the totally, but also the econol11Jcally, bImd; this latter category includes those whose vision does not come up to the admittedly low standard of vision reckoned as the ability to c~un.t fingers at. a distance of one metre.

But none the less some satisfaction ~a~ be dra:';'ll fron: the ~act that there was an improvement noted in the blrndne s rate 111 spIte of a severe but localized outbreak of acute conjunctiviti ' 3.Hecting the townspeople; this will be referred to again later in this report.

Deducting from this list the cases of cataract-which can usually be cured by operation-there remains a total of 2,800 irremediably blind eyes. It will be noted that 2,203 (65 per cent) were blinded a a result, direct or indirect, of acute conjunctiviti. end r the headint; of " Secondary Glaucoma" are included only those ca es which it is reasonable to believe might have been cured by timely urgical intervention. Of the 147 recorded ca es of injury resulting in blindness, 52 were under the heading" occupational or industrial"; the remainder were mainly due to injuries sustained during quarrelling. The cycle of drought which plagued Pale tine for a decade has happily pa sed; following a winter of ample rains a corre ponding reduction in the incidence of acute conjunctiviti wa anticipated; but unfortunately owing to the prevalence of measle and 01(' neglect that accompanies impoverishment, the epidemic w() sev reo The total number of cases of acute conjunctivitic; treated in the OutP atient Department, including the Annc. ·e, \Va 6,785; compared with previous years this figure is more than double that of la t year but n arly one thou and less than in 1935. Of the 6,7 5 cases of acute conjunctiviti , 812 (12 per cent) were complicated with ulceration; the percent.a~e of this complication in 1936 was 18 per cent :md in 103'" 21 per cenl ; 297 cases resulted in perforation of the eyeball, a ratio of 36 per cent this year as compared with 16 per cent last year and '19 per cent. in the very severe epidemic of 1935. In the Annexe clinic-where the acute conjunctiviti of infants and young children only receives attention--there were 3,394 cases a compared with 1,144 in 1936 and 4,602 in 1935. Of the new cases of acute conjunctivitis, 340 (10 per cent) were complicated with ulceration and 129 (38 per cent) went on to perforation; in the mild epidemic of 1936 only 19·5 per cent went to perforation, whil t in the severe epidemic of 1935 the ratio was 45 per cent. Although the majOlity of the patients were townspeople, the epidemic was a severe one; it must be realized that this dreadful disease works havoc with the undernourished and those debilitated by measles and whooping cough; further, the undoubted and widespread economic distress due to unemployment was also a potent factor. These cases do not respond to treatment; for this reason the number of parenteral injections (raw milk) given was only 206; this form of treatment is useful in the well-nourished but positively harmful in the weak and debilitated.

We have again been fortunate in having had the valuable help of Dr. Elizabeth Stuart in this special clinic; with the advantage of previous experience here her services enabled the other members of the medical staff to concentrate on the work of the main Dispensary during the busy summ r months. In the main Out-Patient Department over 1,500 patients were tested for glasses and 1,129 prescriptions for glasses were given; the remainderowing to the presence of irregular astigmatism or other conditions-did not show sufficient visual improvement to warrant a prescription. Amongst the cases examined were Army and Air Force personnel (124 and 41 respectively); Trans-Jordan Frontier Force, 8; British (including Government official), 165. There were 301 Palestinian Government officials and employees, 17 British Police, and 81 monks and nuns (European) . In the X-ray Department, 19 photographs were taken; of these, 3 were with the Potter-Bucky apparatus for the elucidation of sinus disease, new growths, etc. The Sweets apparatus was used for the localization of intraocular foreign bodies in 16 cases. Of these foreign bodies three were ferrous; two were successfully removed by the aid of the giant magnet; the piece of iron in the third case, owing to the lapse of several months from the time of the accident, had become encapsulated; as the eye was already blind it was inadvisable to subject it to further trauma. R adium therapy was used in the treatment of 8 cases of spring catarrh, 5 ca es of rodent ulcer of the eyelid, and one case of carcinoma of the lim bu ; in all 55 applications were given. I t will be recognized that this form of treatment is time absorbing; it is our earne t hope to extend this physico-therapy treatment when the n w block i built and staffed. Meanwhile, in the work of this department, we are much indebted to the highly skilled help of Dr. W. E. Thompson, our Honorary Radiologist; not only in this sphere but in all the activities connected with the Hospital his advice and ever willing service are greatly appreciated. Owing to the unsettled state of the country the ophthalmic clinics of the Department of Health were not visited; for the same reason the Department was unable to send medical officers and nurses for training or refr her courses. The Trans-Jordan Government sent one medical officer (Dr. Jirills ~Iansur); he remained for a period of six months and howed much enth usiasm and considerable aptituo.e for ophthalmology. a result the number of cases of Trans-Jordan Frontier Force personnel sent for treatment shows a satisfactory decline. The Ladie ' Linen Guild ()f the Order has continued to fulfil all our requirements; everything that comes from them bear witness to a solicitude and loving care for the patients and the staff. Lastly my best thanks are due to all members of the staff and especially to the ~ ub-Warden (Dr. Wren) for the cheerful performance of duties that are always arduous and often trying. ( igned) J.

Report

Committee for

1937.

During the past year several vacancies have occurred in the membership of the Linen Guild owing to death and other causes, but these, it is satisfactory to be able to report, have been filled by other ladies of the Order. Lady trathearn has kindly undertaken the important duty in Jerusalem, which was carried out for so many years by the late Lady Watson , namely, charge and supervision of the Linen Room in the Hospital, which includes all the necessary making up and mending. She has also sent a most carefully prepared list of everything required in the various wards and departments of the Hospital. very large List of Requirements was received from Jerusalem this year, and it is a pleasure to report that a great number of these haye b een offered as gifts by various members of the Linen Guild. Some of the lady members of the Order in Canada have expressed a wish, through the Commandery in Canada, to assist in providing some of the requirements for the Hospital. It has been suggested that they would be responsible for a sum of about £50 towards these requirement, the articles to be purchased in England, through your Committee, but sent out to Palestine as coming from them. The Committee is very glad to receive this splendid contribution from Overseas members towards

the respon ibilities in Jerusalem which the Linen Guild ha undertaken and takes this opportunity of expressing its warm appreciation of the proffered help . A further sum of money has been placed to the Depo it Account of the Guild.

Propertie

of the Order ill the Old City of Jerusalem. (1) The Mur ista n .

The site which is known by the name of "Muristan "-a PersianTurkish word meaning Hospital, and first given to this site, it is said, by Saladin-occupies an area to the south-east of the Church of the Holy epulchre, and is separated from it by a narrow street known a Haret el Dabbaghan or Street of the Tanners. It is bounded on the south by David Street, on the west by Christian Street, and on the east by the uq al Lahhamin or " Malcuisinat " of medieval times. It was within these boundaries, on the ruins, it may be, of a hostel built by Charlemagne, that the pious merchants of Amalfi. in 1048 erected their two hospices for the protection and care of pilgrims, one for men and another for women, thus founding the Order of the Hospitailers. During the period of the Latin Kingdom of the Crusaders from 1099 to 1187, the site wa covered with the buildings of the Hospitallers. It may thus be said to have been the cradle of the Order. Little now remains of the buildings except the foundations, some of which have been excavated and are yisible to-day. Part of the site was presented in 1869 by the ultan to the then Crown Prince of Prussia (afterwards the Emperor Frederick of Germany), while the remainder was taken over early in the present century by the Greek Convent of the Holy Sepulchre, and is now built over with shops. In 1925 the Order purchased, with the strong moral support of the Pale tine Government and largely owing to the efforts of Mr. K eithRoach, C.B.E., K.ST.J., then District Commissioner of J erusalem, and of the \Varden, part of the site from the German Religious Order to whom it belonged, at a cost of about £2,600. Later, a smaller strip was also purchased for about £1,000 from the Germans and the Greek Orthodox hurch, so as to round off the property of the Order. Unfortunately sufficient funds have not as yet been forthcoming to make practical use of this historic site. It is suggested that a" Hospitium " might one day be built here, with an approach from David Street on the south side, through an existing arch in the old market. The Hospitium, for which sketch plans have been prepared, would include accommodation for members of the Order and their friends visiting Jerusalem, with a Refectory, Library, Common Room, and Chapel. Such a building, designed on traditional lines in keeping with its character and with its position in the Holy City, would be a worthy memorial of the Order and of its historic connection with the site from which it originally sprang. The site is at present empty, except for an old and rather unsightly hovel, but it is surrounded by a wail, part of which has had to be rebuilt during the year at a cost to the Order of £50. Investigations are proceeding with a view to obtaining a few original stones of the Crusaders'

period for transfer to the Commanderies in Southern Africa, New Zealand, and Canada, to be utilized in those Dominions in connection with any headquarters that it may be proposed to erect. (2) Watson HOllse. This building on the south side of David treet was bought by the late Lady vVatson, a Dame of Grace of the Order, and occupicd by her for many years. It has a fine view on one side over the Muri tan ite and of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and on the other of the Dome of the Rock and the Mount of Olives. Ten years before her death she made over the house to the Order, retaining only her life tenancy, in memory of her husband, Sir Charles Watson, as a memorial to whom a fmely inscribed plaque was placed by the Order on one of thc wall. Lady \Vatson, who died on the last day of 1936, lamented by all who knew her, and whose work on behalf of the Order and especially of the Ophthalmic Hospital is too well known to need repetition here, exprc_ ed the wish that it should be used either as accommodation for the jIedical taff or Nursing Sisters of the Hospital, or as a Dispensary to be administered by the Order for those suffering from eye disease. The house is situated too far from the Hospital to be used suitably a accommodation for _ ursing isters, or indeed for any of the taff of the Hospital, all of whom must necessarily reside either in the Hospital building itself, or as near as possible to it. The first alternative \\'a therefore regarded as impracticable, and the second alternative, \vilh some modification, was adopted by Chapter-General. As the accommodation for an eye-clinic would not require more than two or three room , it was considered best to utilize the rest of the building as a Baby "'\\ elfare Centre to be administered by the Department of Health. The Department had long been anxious to tran fer the exi Ling Centre from it present quarters, and a mutually satisfactory arrangement has been madc between the Order and the Palestine Government, whcreby thc lati r will pay a rent of £150 a year to the Order for thc temporary lea e of Watson House. The Eye-Clinic will be equipped by the Order, but will be provisionally administered by the Department of Health. The Eye-Clinic at Watson House should prove beneficial t.o the many poor of all ages suffering from eye disease in the Old ity; and by providing treatment nearer their homes to those living within the \,valls it will to some extent relieve the congestion of out-patients at the Ophthalmic Hospital. The Baby vVelfare Centre, so ably conducted by the Department of Health, has already proved of immense value to the community, and by its transfer to the premises at "'\Vatson House it will undoubtedly be able to offer better facilities than heretofore. (3) Strathearn HOll e. This house, which adjoins Watson House, was purchased by the Order in 1934 for £1,500 as a training school to provide accommodation for Arab girls from the villages, with a view to their instruction under the auspices of the Warden in the elementary rules of First Aid, Hygiene, Home Nursing, and Sanitation, with the ultimate object of stamping out preventable blindness in Palestine. The experiment proved successful,

PROPERTIES OF THE ORDER

but in April, 1936, on the conclusion of its second session, the school was closed. "The Warden reported that he found the strain on the staff, combined with the work in the Hospital, too great and recommended reluctantly that the experiment under its present auspices should be given up" (Report for 1936, page 8). The wall along the street front fell down in the year 1937 and had to be rebuilt with an improved entrance at a cost of £80. Neither the general situation in Palestine nor the continued pressure on the Hospital Staff appears to justify the resumption of the scheme at present, and the building has therefore been reconditioned and leased to the Palestine Government as a billet for British Police at a rental of £150 a year. The name" Strathearn " has been given to this house by Chapter-General in honour of the present Warden of the Hospital and in recognition of his services to the Order during a period of over 20 years.
